Edit Project Cable Data

To edit an existing cable, open the Cable Schedule and then select the cable record and click Edit in the Records section of the Home tab, or double-click on the cable record.

The Cable Details window is then displayed.

Notes: If more than one cable is selected when the Edit option is clicked, Wiring Manager asks if a 'Bulk Edit' is required. This enables the editing of multiple cables at a time. See Bulk Edit Cables.

Cable details can also be accessed for editing from the Cable Block Diagrams application.

If a cable is on a locked drum (refer to Cable Drums for further information), it cannot be edited. The OK and Apply buttons are disabled on Cable Details window the meaning that no changes can be saved.

If a cable is frozen, when you open 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.

Note: Cables on locked drums (see above) cannot be frozen or unfrozen.

If a "child" cable is selected for editing (see Create Multiple Cables), the following message is displayed:

Click Yes to open the Cable Details window for the parent cable.

Click No to open the Cable Details window for the child cable. Child cable details can be viewed but not edited.

Note: The numbers of all parent and child cables in the cable schedule can be bulk edited. Refer to Bulk Edit Parent and Child Cable Numbers for further information.
