Adding barriers to cable tray with cables

You can add barriers to a cable tray that already has cables of different signal routed through it. When you add barriers and assign required signal types to the partitions, the software automatically routes the cables in partitions based on their signal type. You need not manually assign cables to respective partitions.

For example, a cable tray has Communication, Control, and Power cables routed through it. When you create three partitions out of the cable tray, the software automatically routes the control cable in partition assigned with Control signal type and so forth based on their signal type.

Deleting a partition with cables

If you delete a partition with cables, the software deletes that partition and unroutes the associated cables. The Route status of the cable is set to incomplete. For information on how to delete a cable tray partition, see Delete a cable tray barrier.

Converting a cable tray with barriers to a cable tray

To convert a cable tray with barriers to a cable tray, you should delete all the partitions. If you delete all the partitions, the software unroutes the associated cables except the cables in the remaining partition. The software renders the last remaining partition into a cable tray, and the signal type of that partition is assigned to the cable tray.
