SW Electrical Design Rule Check Problem

[JSculley]

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2021 SP5.1

There is a built in design rule check named Origin destination arrow connected to different wire styles. This design rule check does not appear to do what it claims to do. I created this simple schematic:

It should pass the design rule check with no issues, but every origin-destination symbol ends up in the report:

Does anyone have a fix for this report or the SQL for a report that actually does what this one claims to do?

After further investigation, the different wire styles aren't even the source of the bad behavior. I can change things so that there are only three wire styles:

and the report fails the same way. So, the source of the problem is the fact that there are multiple wires connected to each terminal. Our schematics are full of these types of connections so I'll have to keep looking for a way to correct the report.

Here's the SQL I came up with:

==============================================================

Code: Select all

SELECT *
FROM   tew_linewirepair
       LEFT JOIN tew_wire
              ON tew_linewirepair.lwp_wir_id = tew_wire.wir_id

              ON tew_line.lin_id = tew_linewirepair.lwp_lin_id

              ON tew_file.fil_id = tew_line.lin_fil_id

              ON ( tra_strobjectid = ]]fil[[​​​​​​​
                   AND tew_file.fil_id = tew_translatedtext.tra_objectid
                   AND tew_translatedtext.tra_lan_strid = ]]%PROJECT_LNG_CODE%[[)
       LEFT JOIN tew_symbol

       LEFT JOIN tew_symbolpt
              ON tew_symbolpt.spt_sym_id = tew_symbol.sym_id

       AND lwp_wir_id IN (SELECT lwp_wir_id

                          HAVING Count(DISTINCT lin_lty_id) > 1)
ORDER  BY lwp_wir_id ASC 

==============================================================



For my test schematic above, it returns no results, which is expected. If I change a single line to have a different style:

I get the correct results:

I still have to replace the '*' after the first SELECT with individual column names to make it more efficient, but it works.
