All cables passing through a Cable Control box will be displayed in the designation next to the box on the layout.

 

 

 

In the Actual dimensions of the cable control box, you can change the dimensions of the box.

In the Height Above Ground box, you can set the box's height above the ground.

The box's height is measured relative to the base height of the layer to which the object belongs.

 

By default, the box's horizontal dimensions are small, the vertical dimension is large, and the height above ground is negative. These dimensions allow for a wide range of cable bundle heights to be captured on the layout.

If you need to show cable bundles running at different heights separately on the layout, you can reduce the box's height and increase its height above ground to match the cable bundle's height.

 

The Recount cables in the box starts the process of detecting cables passing through the box and updating the list for one editing cable control box.

 

To recount cables in all selected cable control boxes on the layout, use the Recalculate Cable Control boxes item in the Main Menu.

 

The buttons control the appearance of the cable control point designation. After recalculating the cable control box, the designation can include a list of cable designations and the box's height above ground. The designation is editable.

 

The button allows you to move the designation relative to the Cable control box on the layout. To move the designation, click this button and click to set a new location for the designation.

The offset of the designation relative to the equipment and the device symbols can be scalable (having actual dimensions on the layout at any zoom level) or non-scalable (having constant dimensions on the screen at any zoom level). Scalable and non-scalable offsets are independent and are stored separately.

You can make the equipment symbol and offsets scalable or non-scalable, along with the callouts of the Cable control box, using the Scalable checkbox in the Options box.

 

The color setting buttons on the layout, in 3D and when printing work as usual.

 

The Cable Control Box list length cannot exceed 60 characters. If the cable list is longer than 60 characters, the Cable List Page combo box becomes available.

To display the designations of all cables, you can place multiple Cable Control Boxes on the cable bundle and select different pages.
