I'd second this...if anyone has a demo of this workflow in action.

Thank you all for the input. I used ConnectCAD years ago when it was a plug in, but will give the Cable Sheet a look for sure. I'd echo the sentiment to Vectoworks that there are some really basic electrical tools missing for the non-entertainment folks out there producing architectural design plans. As Vectorwroks chases Revit in BIM functionality I think having some better options for (even simple) MEP layouts/schedules will be really important. Cable Tools as a designer...is just so overkill. I'm sure any architect would stay far away also 🙂 Thanks all

Apologies if this is covered somewhere I am missing... I've been using VWX Spotlight for many years, but lately moved into architectural lighting design (using Revit heavily). Is there a goto workflow in Vectorworks (using cable tools, or electrical tools) to represent simple wiring on lights for circuiting? In Revit this is so simple with wiring tools (select lights, create circuit, and auto add wires as arced lines). The wires event move with the lights when re-aligning. We are not in need of any other cable information on lights (the electrical contractor handles all that), this is purely for design representation like in attached screenshot (from Revit)

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard last night and have been using VW2008 all day so far without any crashes. DWG import works like a charm. Obviously I have not dove in head first and tested the program for full compatibility, but so far so good. My feeling is that Nemetschek is just airing on the side of caution when recommending what their users should do. Although, they could have gone about it in their postings a little less hard edged. I'd love to hear if any one else has had success/failure with SL and VW2008 so far. My setup is: MBP 17" 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 3GB RAM
