Item Numbering enhancements
Item numbering now supports fixed item numbers on panel components. If
Resequence Item Numbers is run later on, fixed item numbers do not change.
Resequence item numbers based on the manufacturer values of the
components. Select the manufacturers from a list of values used in the project.
Only item numbers on components with selected manufacturer values change.
Define the resequence order based on the manufacturer values of the
components. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order
of the manufacturers for processing by the Resequence Item Numbers
command.

Project-specific catalog database
Create a catalog database containing only the catalog values used in the project
drawings. This command takes the default_cat.mdb database and removes all
catalog values not used in the project drawings. Use this smaller catalog
database to:
■ Send to a client with the finished project.
■ Limit future catalog selections to components used in the project.

Location Box enhancements
When you insert a Location Box, a check box on the Location Box dialog box
indicates whether to update the location and installation values for the parent
components that fall within the new location box.
AutoCAD Electrical commands are now location box aware. If you insert or
move schematic parent components into an existing location box, location
and installation values update to match the location box. If you move
schematic parent components out of a location box, choose whether to update
component values to match the drawing defaults.
NOTE Circuit commands do not update components within the circuit due to
placement within an existing location box.
