Freeze a Cable

If a cable is "frozen" it cannot be edited either in AVEVA Electrical, or in E3D (Cable Design). Its routing status is set to "Frozen".

To freeze a cable check the Frozen checkbox in the cable's Cable Details window.

Note:
Cables can also be frozen (and unfrozen) in bulk. Refer to Bulk Freeze and Unfreeze Cables for details.

Note:
Cables on locked drums (refer to Cable Drums for details) cannot be frozen or unfrozen.

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.

To unfreeze a cable, uncheck the Frozen checkbox. The OK and Apply buttons are then enabled.
