Use the Create Cable command to insert cable occurrences. You specify a cable ID, and select the category and name of the cable definition. Then select the pins for each wire or conductor in the cable. The system automatically advances through the cable wires in sequence, starting with the first cable wire. If needed, you can also manually select the order in which to connect the cable wires. The number of wires for a cable and the properties are inherited from the library definition.
The status of the cable wire in the list changes to connected, and then the system automatically advances to the next cable wire. Cables are displayed as their individual wires.
By default, the Cable ID is “Cable<num>” where <num> is an incremental number starting with 1. Cable wires are automatically assigned Wire IDs as they are connected. By default, the Wire ID is the Cable ID plus the Conductor ID. In the browser, cable wires are named with the Cable ID followed by the conductor ID, and the conductor ID in parentheses. Cable wire names are changed by modifying the Wire ID in the Cable Wire Properties dialog box. You cannot remove the conductor ID in parentheses.
