The Cable Tray Barrier Parts node (the Cable Tray Barrier Parts.xls workbook available on the customer support web site) defines all the cable tray barrier parts that are available in the catalog.
Almost all cable tray barrier parts are represented by symbols. You can find which symbol is used for a particular delivered part by looking in the Symbol Definition column (usually cell C4 of the part sheet). Symbols are named after the text that precedes the period. See the Symbols Reference Data Help.
