The user can define the Cable cores, and set them for use in the Cable application.

Create a Category for Cable Cores

1. Select Create, then select Category for Cable Core from the main window drop-down.

   The Create Category window opens:

   

2. Enter a Name.

3. Make sure the Purpose is set to CORE.

4. Click OK to create the following database hierarchy and open the Category form.

   

   Definition of cores is slightly different to other category types, and includes the additional functions shown here in the category form.

   

5. An option for Cable Core Set is available in the Model References part of the Category form. Click on this option to display the following sub form:

   

   1. Click New Core to create a new Cable Core. As new Cable Cores are created they will be visible in the table.

   2. Click Copy to duplicate a currently selected Cable Core.

   3. Click on the red cross to delete the currently selected Cable Core.

   4. The following fields are also available:

      • Number (NUMB)

      • Purpose (PURP)

      • Description (DESC)

      • Core Tag

      • Core Group

      

      The above screen shot shows a populated Cable Core form which would result in the following database hierarchy:

      

      The SCOM here would typically reference a "ccorse" (Cable Core Set), if more than one cable core set is required, users can copy the SCOM using the normal "Copy" routine in the category grid:

      

      then using normal "Copy" from main menu for the CCORSE element in the category, user would then use the category form to re-reference the new CCORSE element.

      

      Once defined, all elements can then be used in other catalogue element structures, for example GPARTS or TABGRO, and subsequently used in DESIGN using appropriate selection techniques.
