The status is remembered each time you run the audit and across sessions of AutoCAD Electrical. Ignored issues are indicated in the new Status column. Once you have determined an issue is not something that you need to fix, you can set the issue's status to Ignored and then hide all ignored issues.
For example, a ground wire with no wire number or a component with unconnected wire connections. Some "errors" reported by Electrical Audit may not actually be errors or need to be corrected.
You can right-click on the Installation or Location nodes to insert multiple connectors. This option has been added to the Location View shortcut menu.
You can now insert parametric connectors in AutoCAD Electrical if your Inventor assembly contains parts defined as connectors. The option has been added to the Location View on the right-click menu. To make it easier to link components between your AutoCAD Electrical drawing and Inventor assembly, you can now select both components right in the Location View. The Location View tab has a new top node so you can view and export the entire project. Just run either the Schematic or Panel Bill of Material report in AutoCAD Electrical and check to Include Inventor Parts. You can now create a combined Bill of Material report that takes into account your AutoCAD Electrical project and the linked Inventor assembly. Improvements to Electromechanical Workflows Once AutoCAD Electrical is installed you can even set up your SQL Server from within the product. Then you can choose to configure your SQL Server instance when you are creating your AutoCAD Electrical 2017 deployment, or installing AutoCAD Electrical 2017. But, you can use the Content Migration Utility provided to migrate the content to your SQL Server setup. The databases are supplied in Access format as in previous releases. You can now choose to use SQL Server for the catalog and footprint lookup databases. If you are a subscription customer, you may have seen some of these updates in the AutoCAD Electrical 2016 Subscription Advantage packs. We are very excited about the features that are part of this release, especially since the features were all customer requests.
