Connecting Cable Elements to Nested Symbol

One of the methods of connecting Cable or Multi-cable to equipment is connection using a nested symbol. It can be established as follows:

• By connecting the Cable element to a connection point on a symbol being part of Equipment, Sub-equipment or Electrical Connection group.

• By dragging a symbol that is already connected to a Cable element into Equipment, Sub-equipment or Electrical connection group. To be able to use this option, the behavior of the Containing Group should be set to Accept dropped shapes and nested symbol should be set to Add shape to group option.

Disconnecting a cable element from a symbol belonging to an equipment group, or dragging a symbol connected to a cable element out of an equipment group, will result in disconnection in db.

To achieve this functionality the Equipment, Sub-equipment or Electrical connection should be converted to a group before importing a shape to the stencil.
