    Default Source arrow

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello,

    I have been linking source and destination wires on my drawings successfully. Suddenly, I am not able to create a source arrow for wire, but able to create destination arrow. When am trying to create Source arrow, it is giving an error called HA1S1.dwg file not found. Does anyone know what the problem is??

    Thanks in advance

    Could HA1S1.dwg be the source arrow drawing?

    Have you tried a search of your hard drive for the drawing?

    Let's try this. Do a general search of your hard drive via Windows Explorer and see if you can find the file HA1S1.dwg.

    Not sure why it would be there one day then gone the next though unless someone accidentally erased it.

    Ok. Here is what my drawings are showing. In drawing #1, I have source arrow of block name HA1S1.dwg that is linked( destination arrow HA1D1.dwg) to other wire in drawing#2. When I am trying to add source wire (different wire not destination arrowed wire) in drawing #2 it is not letting me do.

    I don't understand why you can do it in one drawing but not in the other. Makes no sense.

    Do you even get to the Signal - Source Code dialog box?
