Cable View Settings

On the Cabling tab, you can modify and apply settings that affect the visualization of cables and cable routing network objects in work views and the Cable View window.

Cable view settings

On the Cabling tab, clicking Cable View Settings or selecting Cable View Settings > Cable view settings opens the Cable View Settings dialog where you can define the following settings.

Setting	Description
Color scheme	If the nodal network is visualized, you can select how to color the nodes and the segments. Default – Use the default colors. Status – Use these colors: Blue – generated, enabled Red – generated, disabled Green – manually created, enabled Yellow – manually created, disabled Dark red – segment is blocked Fillrate – Use the fill rate colors defined in cable router settings. See Defining fill rate controls.
Show hidden network parts	If the nodal network is visualized, you can select whether to also visualize normally hidden cable network parts. None (default) – Do not visualize any hidden cable network parts. Blocked segments – Visualize segments that collide with other objects and segments that are blocked due to different interference classes. These segments are displayed in dark red color. Note: You can activate a blocked segment with the Enable Network Objects function (see Modify) to turn it into a user-defined segment, which informs the cable network recreation process that the segment is needed even if it is colliding into something. Combined node sub nodes – In a combined node, visualize all the subnodes instead of a single node. All – Visualize all hidden cable network parts.
Show nodal network	Select this option to visualize the nodes and segments of the cable routing network. Important: This setting has no effect in a work view whose content rule is set to hide cable routing network parts. For more information on content rules, see Set Content Rule or Filter.
Show compartments in cable view	Select this option to visualize the compartments along the cable route.
Show new route to be accepted (in red)	Select this option to visualize the new route that has not yet been accepted. These routes are displayed in red color.
Show old route saved in COS (in yellow)	Select this option to visualize the route currently stored in COS. These routes are displayed in yellow color.
Visual overlays	If the nodal network is visualized, you can select what differences between the nodal network and the 3D model you want the visualization to show. See Overlays.

Apply cable view settings

On the Cabling tab, Cables group > Cable View Settings > Apply cable view settings applies the current cable view settings to the area model. This might be needed, for example, after changing the coloring mode of a work view.
