@JCodgellThanks, that's helpful. part of the problem may be that the file was started in 2021 and converted. I've definitely noticed a few other things not working like the tutorial shows, such as attaching to truss. I had originally connected the two cable paths, but after having some trouble, rebuilt them. I'll keep all of this in mind moving forward, I think I'm doing ok for now, bigger problem is just not having our specific devices in the libraries. Any insight into my L6-20 vs. 6-30 cabling issue? Is it based on the connector type? Is there a way to make a new connector type?

@JCodgell I just upgraded to 2022 a week or two ago, SP3, build 636848. I found another issue just now: the projection truss at the farthest upper left I can draw on the cable path but when I finalize the cable it jumps off the path, running directly from the primary truss to the device. Thanks for the assistance. NEA2022_cable path issues.vwx

Yes, they're pretty thorough, but they do not answer these questions, at least not that I can see. Nor do they explain why cables don't seem to attach properly to some of my cable paths, or they work fine until I complete the cable, then the entire shape changes so it's running backwards with both ends near what should have been the "end" of the cable

I'm trying to learn the cable tool and having an issue, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I've modified some cable parts, that went ok, and I see them in the Cable Part Manager. One of the new cables I tried to build is L6-30, which doesn't exist at all in the library. I was able to build the parts and created a style, and I can draw a cable and it's pulling in the wrong cable parts. It's adding L6-20 cable parts to my cable run and I don't see how to tell it A: to use the L6-30 and B: that L6-20 is not a compatible cable type. I'm wondering if the problem is that L6-30 is a connector that doesn't exist in the drop-down? and if that's my problem, is there a way to create it? Thinking ahead, if I want to create cables like tac-4 fiber and 5-wire BNC, will the system confuse those with single-strand fiber and std. coax BNC? would building them as multi-cables make any difference there? thanks, Greg
