To enter or edit the cable core markings of a catalog cable, select the catalog record from the Cable Catalog, then click Edit in the Records section of the Home tab, or double-click on the catalog cable record.
Note: Changing the core markings of a catalog cable will result in the core markings for every cable in the project that is based on this catalog cable being changed as well.

Only data in the Marking and CoreType columns may be edited.
Note: The core type is used by Wiring Manager when creating reports and terminations OAS = Overall screen, S = screen/shield, E = Earth wire, C = Core (that is, normal wire - any core that is not a shield or earth wire).
Important: Wiring Manager uses a relational database to store information then any change to core markings for a catalog cable effect all project cables that use this catalog cable. For example, changing marking '1W' to '1WH' will change the first core in project cable instances that use this catalog cable for every cable in the project.
Note: The default cable core colors/markings and core group type markings are set for the project using the Cable Schedule Options window. These preferences are applied to new catalog cable creation only.
