  1. Have you come across ConnectCAD?

    It's more suited towards AV workflows. You can create a signal flow diagram of your speakers and associate circuits with drawn cables on the audio speaker layer.

    The cable tools are really geared to power and mains distribution (for now at least).

     

  2. criteria should be 'object type truss' and check inside plug in objects and inside symbols.

    as for the system name we still have the same issue @jgulbrandsen mentions above.

    If you used geometry instead of symbol you could assign a different system name to each truss inside each hanging position.

    This workflow may be easier without using hanging positions and using either truss system or position name on the truss objects.

    We are continuing to develop this workflow as a priority.

  3. The only way to do this would be to remove the fill from the other 2d components that you don't want Data vis to fill and leave the fill of the objects that you want coloured.

    And then set Data Vis to apply a fill.

    it does not apply fill to classes.

  4. Hi Chris, it does not shorten the list only what objects get selected.

    We are working on Data Vis, there is an existing enhancement request to update the list using criteria.

    All the best

    You can also pick individual colors in the DV dialog, and then export that as a palette to make it easier to reuse your chosen colors in a future DV scheme.

    Thanks Rick, was not aware of that.

  6. In terms of a long list of symbols I also add additional criteria such as class and/or Record Format is present or even 'Field Value' is. Or even Symbol name 'Contains'.

    Providing you have setup your file and workflow diligently then extra criteria can be applied which can help you filter further.
