Hi Conrad,
thanks for your prompt reply.
im not reading your list of future projects (yet) -> will do so 😉
Yes actually a socket report would be great although I created that table on my own already.
What im trying to achieve is to have informations out of sockets, for example a video signal format written in the user fields attached to the circuit information (cable type and length) to feed that into my filemaker soloution from where I print my labels.
In the end I would like to have a cable that has e.g.:
cable name
cable type
signal format
socket name
cable length on it.
In basic it seams that im close, I have a table with all the socket informations as well as I have all the circuit informations. What is missing is that one criteria that enables me to link that like e.g. a field in the socket that takes over the cable number connected to it.
I thought of a work around using the socket name and the socket tag and name them individually with some kind of device name as those show up on the circuits in origin and destination, but thinking in a copy - paste workflow, individually naming 24 sockets on over 1000 devices doesn't seam pretty handy to me. Furthermore its getting a bit messy if you have that displayed in the schematics.
As they are named for example SDI_In 1 to 12 I thought of copying the device name into the Socket name, but this will overwrite the Tags where they are the same.
Maybe im just thinking the wrong way, so any input on that is highly appreciated 🙂
Cheers,
Jan
