Automatically Assigning Cable Connections

Using the Assign cable connections menu items you have two different possibilities to automatically assign the connections of a cable part to cable connections:

The sequence of the cable connections for the selected cables is resorted during this. The sequence of the connections is determined according to the rules for determining source and target of the cable or, in the case of terminals, according to the sequence of the terminals on the terminal strip.

Preconditions:

Reassign all cable connections

  1. Select the Project data > Cables > Assign cable connections > Reassign all menu items.

    The connections of the cable part are assigned to the cable connections, if the potential type matches. Existing properties of the cable connections are overwritten by the part properties.
