To enter or edit the cable core markings of a catalogue cable, select the catalogue record from the Cable Catalogue, then click Edit in the Records section of the Home tab, or double-click on the catalogue cable record.
Note:
Changing the core markings of a catalogue cable will result in the core markings for
every cable in the project that is based on this catalogue cable being changed as
well.

Only data in the Marking and CoreType columns may be edited.
Note:
The core type is used by Electrical Wiring Manager when creating reports and terminations OAS = Overall screen, S = screen/shield, E
= Earth wire, C = Core (i.e. normal wire - any core that is not a shield or earth
wire).
Important:
Electrical Wiring Manager uses a relational database to store information then any change to core markings
for a catalogue cable effect all project cables that use this catalogue cable. For
example, changing marking '1W' to '1WH' will change the first core in project cable
instances that use this catalogue cable for every cable in the project.
Note:
The default cable core colours/markings and core group type markings are set for the
project using the Cable Schedule Options window. These preferences are applied to new catalogue cable creation only.
