Drag and Drop

To add existing equipment and cables to the Cable Block Diagram by dragging and dropping, do one of the following:

• In the Equipment View, click on an Equipment node, drag the selected Equipment node onto the diagram and drop it into the diagram.

• In the Equipment List, click on an Equipment record, drag the selected Equipment record (select just to the left of the 'Pin' icon) onto the Diagram and drop it into the diagram.

• In the Cable Schedule, click on an Cable record drag the selected Cable record (select just to the left of the 'Pin' icon) onto the Diagram and drop it into the diagram.

Wiring Manager will then add the selected equipment or cable, and depending on the preferences set, all connected Equipment and cables as shown in this example:

In the above example Equipment node 01-JB-002 (a junction box) was dragged from the Equipment View to the Diagram and all its interconnected equipment was added along with all interconnecting cables.

Note: Whether or not interconnected equipment is added is controlled by a Options setting. A separate option to specifically exclude field devices from being added is also available.
