Monkeypuzzle Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Hi all, I'd like to be able to show the cable end markers but not the cable runs as they clutter up my final plans. How do I achieve this? If I turn off the cable class I loose the end label even though its on a different class. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Sam Jones Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 If you are using the cable in the new power planning the cable should be connected to a distributor. You could class hide the cable and not the distributor. If you are using the legacy cable tool, probably the multicable, you are out of luck. AutoPlot Tools for Spotlight has a much updated version of the legacy tools that gives you the option to hide the cable path. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It sounds like the Cable Label is a child object of the Cable. So when you hide the Cable class you end up hiding the child (children) also. What about using Class Overrides and setting the pen weight to zero or the Pen Style to None? Quote Link to comment

In the new power planning cable tools the cable end is just a line end marker defined in the cable style. Any thing that hides the cable path (the nurb) will hide the cable end. Normally the cable would end connected to a distributor object which represents the end of the cable, the breakout box or tails. In the legacy tools it might be able to class the cable run differently from the symbol representing the cable end, but we need to know which version of the cable tools he is using. Even then it is difficult to hide the cable path. Use the new power planning tools and use distributors, or use the AutoPlot version of the cable tools. Quote Link to comment

Sam Jones Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 So you want to see the end of a video cable and not its path? What does the video cable plug into? Quote Link to comment
