Bulk Freeze and Unfreeze Cables

If a cable is "frozen" it cannot be edited either in AVEVA Electrical, or in AVEVA Cable Design. Its routing status is set to "Frozen".

If a cable is frozen, when a user opens the Cable Details window for that cable, a message is first displayed warning that the cable is frozen and cannot be edited. The window then opens, but the OK and Apply buttons are disabled meaning that no changes can be saved.

Cables can also be frozen (and unfrozen) individually. Refer to Freeze a Cable for details.

Cables can also be frozen and unfrozen in bulk, so that multiple cables can be frozen or unfrozen at the same time.

• To freeze multiple cables, select the cables in question in the Cable Schedule grid, then click Bulk Cable Freeze from the Tools section of the List Tools - Cable Schedule tab.

• To unfreeze multiple cables, select the cables in question in the Cable Schedule grid, then click Bulk Cable Unfreeze from the Tools section of the List Tools - Cable Schedule tab.

  Cables that are on a locked drum (refer to Cable Drums for details) cannot be frozen or unfrozen. A message will be displayed to inform the user of this:

  

  The selected cables (other than those on locked drums) are then frozen or unfrozen as appropriate.
