Create Category for Cable Node Representation

Use the Create Category for Node Representation form when the user is required to define the necessary representation of the Cable Nodes in design, which will eventually be drawn on drawings as symbols.

Create a Cable Node Representation

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

   The Create Category window opens:

   

2. Enter a Name.

3. Make sure the Purpose is set to REPR.

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

   

   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.

   

   Elements would be defined as in the example shows above, the geometry is defined to make the symbol as the user wishes to see it eventually in design.

   Once defined as SCOM elements, it would be then required to create GPART Family, example.

   

   The references here would then point to the previous SCOM elements defined, the CABLE application in Design uses the GPART as reference for the representation of the desired element types, in this case, MAIN, SEAM and PENE elements.
