Wiring

You can draw wiring in two different ways: with or without wiring information. Both are done via the Wiring window.

  • In this exercise, we draw with wiring information. Wiring with wiring information is more "intelligent", and the type of the wire or cable can be given in connection with drawing. You can define wiring type afterwards as well.

    The program does not take undefined wirings into account in quantity calculations. When you draw wiring, make sure to connect the wire to a wiring point in the symbol. This way, the wiring gets the correct elevation data from the symbol, for example.

    Wiring functions include predefined wire sets. You can select the desired cables from the cable database. The selected cables are user-specific.

  • Whenever the wiring function is active, the Wiring window is displayed and you can select the desired wiring style. You can also change the wiring height and wiring information during wiring. Wiring symbols are also available in the Wiring window. You can start wiring from a wiring symbol or end it on a wiring symbol.

  • While wiring, both the wire/cable and the elevation are shown on the status bar. You should keep note of them during wiring, you can change the elevation and type during wiring.
