Hi all, I had a play with this today. As hoped it seems you can create a connections report, duplicate it and name it something else (in my case "Switch patching") and then edit that criteria so it includes "Field Value" "Dst_Dev_Name" "=" "*Name of whatever device you care about*" This is direction specific, which works for some devices like a power distribution unit. But for something like a vision matrix with outputs and inputs may mean you want to use OR functions instead of ALL functions to show destination or source devices. But this seems to be a start!

Hi all, not to resurrect an old thread. But did anyone devise a solution to this? I can probably look at a report filter or something but thought I'd also ask here! Cheers Cal

I attempted to add some cable lengths below 1M such as 0.75 and 0.5M. While the dropdown box allows these values, my cable calculation sheets show a length of 0.50 as "050" which will be calculated (and read by humans) as "50M"... slightly over my 0.5m cable estimate. Is it possible to add decimal support to cable lengths as well?

Ok so I've had a bit of a read through of the documentation (I did have a demo license but activated it at the worst possible time so didn't play with it at all!) I would create a device such as a Disguise Pro 2x4 media server. Can I then add different sockets such is video sockets, network sockets, power sockets. and assign different classes to the different sockets so only certain sockets appear on certain views. Or do I have to create different devices with the same name (can you have multiple devices with the same name?)

Hi all, I am looking at using ConnectCAD to start drawing system diagrams for theatre shows. Currently I draw manual pictures on sheet-layers in Vectworks (so just lines and shapes, no smarts). One of the things I like to avoid are the monster drawings where 1 sheet has the entire show's information. For example a media server has power, video in, video out, network, audio in, audio out. If I convey all those connections in 1 drawing, each device would have 20+ connectors making it very messy. Is it possible to have 1 device show different connections on different reports? such as a 'data' report where only data/network connections are shown and a video report/sheet that only shows video related cables/connections? Cheers Cal
