The Cables manager groups all the cables used in your project

Cables appear in a list that can be filtered according to your needs. You can arrange information on the cable Source / Destination and using reservations made in the line diagram.

Some of these features accept the multi-selection, such as Delete or Properties.

 

New cable: Opens the cable catalog where you can select the references you need to add to the project.

Delete: Allows you to delete the selected cables. A cable cannot be deleted if its cores are already in use.

Properties: Shows the properties of the selected cables. If you select several cables, the Properties dialog box displays only the common properties.

Duplicate: Copies individual or multiple cables including all their associated properties such as reference or path. The mark are automatically incremented.

Replace: Lets you replace the selected cables with other cables from the catalog. The new cable must have at least as many cores as the cables being replaced.

Switch: Allows you to swap the Origin and Destination and vice versa of the selected cables.

Disassociate cable core: Allows you to free up (disconnect), the selected cables cores.

Tree view: Manages the type of display for the cables list. The cables can be grouped by Function or by Origin/Destination.
