Create a New Cable by Dragging

A new cable can be added between equipment on a diagram by using the dragging tool.

Click in the center of the source equipment node, then, while holding down the mouse button "drag" the cursor towards the destination equipment node. A new cable will be displayed "behind" the cursor while the user does this, i.e. the cursor will appear to be dragging a cable away from the destination equipment.

When the cursor touches the destination equipment node, end the drag (i.e.stop pressing the mouse button). The new cable will then be added and displayed between the two equipment nodes.

A cable is not added to the cable schedule (i.e. the project database) until the user enters and saves its properties. To do this, right-click on the cable and select the Cable Properties option. The Cable Details window is then displayed, with the From and To equipment fields completed. Refer to Create a New Project Cable for details.
