Ryoung Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi All, I'm very new to connectCAD, although I've been using Vectorworks for years. So far I'm really enjoying the upgrade, and I've been finding answers to many of my questions in the forum here. I have a few that I have not been able to find. I have some circuit numbers that are overlapping and I was wondering if its possible to override the position of the labels somehow (kind of like label legends for lighting fixtures) It would also be extremely helpful for me to be able to have wire gauge and voltage drop calculations available for connections (similar to spotlight cable tools) I don't suppose that is a quick fix, but more of a Wishlist item for future updates.

Ryoung Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Great tip, however in this case they are overlapping with each other, so I don't think that will solve my issue. Quote Link to comment

Ryoung Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Unfortunately this isn't working for me either. I'll just turn the labels off and go without. Thanks anyway. Perhaps this could also go on the wish list? Or even turning off labels on one end or the other (similar to spotlight cables) Ryan Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted October 21, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 21, 2020 @Ryoung Yes you are right. Leave this with me and I'll think of a way to solve it. Basically if a socket is multiply connected there is no point is displaying a cable number on the source end. I'll be back...
