The View > Set View by Cable command assists the designer when routing cable by only showing objects of interest and hiding non-applicable objects in the model. Because routing cable typically occurs toward the end of the design process, there is a high likelihood that the model will be crowded. This command:
-
Hides structural, piping, HVAC, and other objects that the electrical designer is not interested in.
-
Hides all equipment not associated with the selected cable.
-
Displays all conduit and cableways that are in the immediate vicinity of the equipment being selected. These objects are the most likely to be used for connecting the equipment with cable.
-
Displays all conduits and cableways connected to those in the vicinity. As an extra measure to ensure that a viable cableway or conduit is not left out, the branches are included as well.
-
Displays all conduits and cableways that the cable currently runs through (if any).
-
Shows hangers supporting these cableways and conduits. These hangers can be important reference points during the routing operation.
-
Automatically zooms to view the volume of interest.
