Adding additions Signal and Conn(on cable) to Device Builder

Hello, 

 

I purchase ConnectCAD before it was fully integrated with Vectorworks, during my demo someone showed me how to add custom fields to Signal and Conn(on cable), but I do not remember how to do it. Does anyone know where I can edit this list? I am trying to add power to these lists so we can show PDUs and other power related devices in our single line drawings. 

 

Thanks

I think we should start from  knowing which version you are on.

 

You can add custom parameters to ConnectCAD objects but this is something we have made quite big changes too. The old way 2018 and before was to add custom params using the Plug-in Manager. This was easy for me but hard for the user, because these changes were not preserved when the software was upgraded. Now in 2020 we define these in a text file CustomParams.txt that is located in the ConnectCAD_Data folder. That way when you upgrade simply moving this file to your new installation adds your customisations.

 

If we are talking about adding additional Signal or Connector types, you do that by editing the SignalTypes.txt and ConnectorTypes.txt files adding in your new data.
