Automatically Generated Cables

Cables can be generated / completed in an automatic run. In this case, the connections are first automatically updated. Automatic generation is in three steps: First, the cables are generated. Then, cable numbering and cable selection are performed for the newly generated cable in correspondence with the settings. This results in completely designated cables with parts. The cable numbering and the automatic cable selection can be called separately.

Note:

For a cable to be generated automatically, the Cable connection property has to be set to the "Cable" value for the connection. This can be set either in the properties dialog for the connection or through a connection definition point.

The connection point properties are also evaluated. In the connection point logic of a function, it is possible to assign the Cable connection point property to the connection points. If the graphically first connection point of a connection (according to the orientation of the plot frame) is a cable connection point, then a cable will be generated. It doesn't matter whether the second connection point is also a cable connection point or not. If, on the other hand, the first connection point is not a cable connection point, no cable will be generated.
