Substitute Cable Size

[Leonarddel]

In the images you can see I have a 3 35' runs based off 1-25' and 1-10'. How would I force it to use a 50' cable for all 3? since I can just figure 8 15' IRL next to the distros. Another situation is I placed a Breakpoint but the Vert Drop is on Part Sec 2 but needs to be on Part Sec 1. Is there a way to move Vert Drop 2 to Vert Drop 1?

Quickest way is to add five or ten feet to the Slack fields.

Playing with the slack fields might help here. But, you might need to move the break point. I haven't played with this in the way you describe.

Copy that Thanks Scott

in the cable preferences set the cable use the fewest parts possible in the drop down and then set the threshold to the largest increment used in your cable parts set or library.

for example if you are using metric part set the threshold to 10m since this is the largest length increment between the different metric cable part lengths.
