Currently, when you connect a cable to a breakout (distributor object), it snaps to the insertion point of that object as seen below: It would be great if you could define snapping points per circuit, which would make cable plans much more legible, as shown in this image: To do this, I had to break the connection between the cable and distributor, which is obviously not ideal. If the cable attaches to the distributor, you cannot move its anchor off of the distributors insertion point. Another really useful feature would be two fields to choose a primary and secondary color code for the breakout. So instead of the grey/orange you see in the images above, which are static per breakout type, I would love for those colors to be dynamic so they can match the color codes of the soca heads. Currently to do that I would have to make a new distributor object type for every breakout.

Power and data outlets linking with schematic and scheduling
Ross McLee posted a topic in ConnectCAD
Hi, (NEWBIE VW2021/ConnectCAD) - transitioning from ACAD. Our AV schematics normally show the power and data outlets we need to be provided by another contractor (electrical/ICT/main contractor etc) to install (either in a floor box, under the floor, in a wall outlet or even in the ceiling. The same goes for power outlets. What is the recommended Vectorworks workflow to not only show these outlets in a schematic but to synchronise them with the outlets shown on a floor layout (both ways)? (I guess that also applies for other devices that are located in a room not just rack based things - like a projector) The schematic will need a device or similar symbol to represent it, and the layout will need a 3D representation of the object so it can be detailed in elevations etc, and a (low detail) symbol so that the electrical contractor can design their package. Then all of this needs to be scheduled (including the location of the outlet either floor, wall, ceiling etc..) Thanks, Ross
