Cable tools preview feature


Recommended Posts

  • Vectorworks, Inc Employee

In this generation of the cable tools Distributor objects are primarily designed to document/display how the system is connected, so there is no way to document the individual MCB's (breaker) and RCD's (differential breaker).

 

The work flow for creating a distributor object is

  1. create or select a symbol for the distributor object
  2. in the resource manager right click on the desired symbol and use the attach record command to attach the 'CableDistributorRecord' by ticking it in the attach column
  3. while still in the attach record dialogue select it (highlights in blue) and hit the edit values button to open the record and fill in the data. For the Input type and output type fields you will need to use the connector universal name from the Cable Connectors xml file (found in your application folder>Libraries>Defaults>Cable Tools)
  4. exit the dialogue and save the new distributor into your user or work-group folder.
