Menu: Library > Cable references manager |
When the command is launched, the cable reference management dialog box opens.
The Classification tab in the left-hand side of the dialog box displays the list of Classes, the first criteria for classification of the references. The Filters tab allows you to search for a reference in order to modify its properties, for example.
The right-hand side of the dialog box displays the list of references contained in the selected class, or the list of cables satisfying the filter criteria.
Some of these features accept the multi-selection, such as Delete or Properties.
