Draw cable tray

Let's draw a cable tray.

Do the following:

1. Select Layout tab > Cableways group > Draw. In the Cableway window, you can define settings for the cableway to be drawn. You can draw all the cableways via this window.

2. For the cableway type, select Cable tray.

3. For the type, select KS80.

4. For width/depth, enter 300.

5. For elevation, enter 2900, and select Bottom of from the drop-down menu.

6. For drawing line, select the left-most option and define 50 as the distance.

7. In the Geometry section, select 2D and then the raster and corner as in the image below:

   

8. Start drawing. You can change the values (the width to 400, for example) while you draw.

Cable tray T branch

If you need to draw a T branch, start drawing again and start from the desired spot. The program adds the branch to the indicated spot automatically.

The T branch is automatically added also when you end the cable tray to another tray in the drawing, as long as the elevation is the same.

Vertical cable tray

A vertical cable tray can be drawn by changing the elevation and selecting the angle. You do not need to stop drawing or use a different function.
