So you can select each conductor and the attributes are populated for you.
Pressing the Project button will display all cable conductors in the project. This isn't a completely manual entry process. One of them is to simply place extra markers on each conductor. That will add a new cable to both the bill of materials and the Cable From/To report. You can’t just add another set of cable markers. What happens when the conductors run from page to page? How do you display the cables on the other pages? Using the schematic below, lets pretend the right side is on a different sheet and we need cable markers on it as well. The only thing it cannot do is display any conductors running through it on the Cable From/To report. This is quick, easy, relays nearly the same information on the print, and adds the cable to the bill of material.
If the Cable From/To report is not important, a parent could be placed directly on the _MULTI_WIRE line. And below is what the Cable From/To report looks like. This cable is now aware of the conductors running through it. Typically this type of command will need to be followed up with the Align command just to clean of the drawing a bit. I haven't been able to figure out what the difference is between the OK-Repeat and the OK button on this dialog.Īfter the last child has been placed, press Esc to end the command. Of course if you have descriptions, INST/LOC codes fill them in as well. The only information required for each child is the Wire Color/ID field. Leave them as is and press OK Insert Child. There is no need for the repetitive text on the drawing in such close proximity. The default is checked because typically these child marker blocks are directly under the parent. This is asking if the listed attributes should be hidden on the rest of the cables markers. Select the first wire to place the first symbol.Īfter populating the Edit Cable Marker dialog, the following is displayed. The command starts with the typical “Specify insertion point” prompt. All child marker blocks are automatically associated to the first symbol placed. A script starts that places the first (parent) followed by a series other (child 2+) marker blocks. Where Are the Symbols?Īccess the cable marker symbols from either the Schematics tab/Insert Wires panel, or from the Icon Menu under Miscellaneous. Using the same schematic created in the previous post, lets get into the basics of cables.
