Edit Appearance of Cable Labels

Cables are labelled using the default "label symbol" specified for the project (refer to Add or Edit Cable Block Diagram Symbols). Cable label symbols consist of the datalinks required to label cables. The appearance of the actual cables themselves is pre-defined and cannot edited.

Cable label symbols may be moved, rotated, changed to another symbol or hidden if required.

Change Cable Label Symbol Anchor

To change the anchor point of a cable label symbol, right-click on the label and select Label Anchor from the menu that is then displayed. From the sub-menu, select the required anchor point, for example, Top Left, Top Middle.:

Rotate Cable Label Symbol

To rotate a cable label symbol 90°, right-click on the label and select Rotate Label Symbol from the menu that is then displayed. From the sub-menu, select the required direction of rotation, clockwise or anti-clockwise.

The label is then rotated 90° in the selected direction.

Change Cable Label Symbol

Cable label symbols are changed to another cable label symbol in the same way as equipment and field device symbols. Right-click on the label and select Change Label Symbol from the menu that is then displayed.

The Symbol List window is then displayed. Refer to Change Symbols for further information.

Hide and Show Cable Label Symbol

To hide the label of a cable, right-click on either the label or the cable and select Hide Cable Label Symbol from the menu that is then displayed. The label is then hidden.

To show the label again, right-click on either the label or the cable and select Show Cable Label Symbol from the menu.
