Assign Cable

The dialog Assign Cable can be selected only within the Cabling Table.

  • For this, right-click on a line within the table and select the context menu command Assign Cable...

 

Note

  • If the context menu command is executed in the Device Level, the cable's conductors are assigned to the complete device.

  • If the context menu command is executed in the Pin Level, one cable conductor is assigned to the pin.

 

Executing this context menu command opens the Assign Cable dialog:

 

 

Assign Cable
Assign existing cable

Select a cable

All cables are displayed in the drop-down list, which fulfill the following prerequisites in the project:

  • The cable has at least as many conductors as the number of pins available on the connection line.

  • The conductors of the cable fulfill the cross-section specifications of the pins.

Clicking on this button opens the Select Existing Cable dialog:

 

 

All usable cables within a project are displayed in the form of a tree structure here.

 

Note

When a cable is selected, the cable conductors are always placed in predefined order. Thus, always the next free conductor is used, irrespective of whether a specific conductor has been selected already or not.

 

By checking the check box List all cables all cables in the project are displayed (as well as already placed).

  • The conductors of the cable fulfill the cross-section specifications of the pins.

Clicking on the button opens the Select Cable Type dialog:

 

 

The following cables are displayed here in the form of a tree structure:

  • all usable cable types (number of conductors / cross-sections that meet the pin requirements) from the database
