Displays options for editing a cableway straight feature.

Properties

Displays the Cableway Straight Feature Properties dialog.

Move From

Click to specify the starting location of the move vector. If you do not define a starting point, the software assumes that the current location of the object is the starting point.

Move To

Click to specify the ending location of the move vector.

Plane

Activates options for selecting a working plane for the route path. Six options are available:

Plan Plane

Defines the work surface as the XY plane at the depth of the active end. You also can press CTRL+1 to select this option.

Elevation Plane: East-West ( Z Plane: X-Axis)

Defines the work surface as the XZ plane. You also can press CTRL+2 to select this option.

Elevation Plane: North-South ( Z Plane: Y-Axis)

Defines the work surface as the YZ plane. You also can press CTRL+3 to select this option.

Plane by Turn/Branch

Defines the work surface as the plane defined by an existing turn or branch. You select the turn or branch to set the plane. You also can press CTRL+4 to select this option.

Plane by Three Points

Defines the work surface using three points that you define. You also can press CTRL+5 to select this option.

No Plane

Clears any work surfaces. The software does not project points that you place to any plane. You also can press CTRL+6 to select this option.

Run

Displays the name of the cableway. You can select another cableway if necessary.

<New Cableway> displays the New Cableway dialog. Use this option to create a new cableway run.

<Select Graphically> allows you to select an existing run in a graphic view, or the Workspace Explorer.

More displays the Select Cableway dialog. Use this option to select a cableway that is associated with a different electrical system.

Shape

Sets the offset cross-section shape. This option displays the current value if an end feature is selected to position the offset because this fixes the cross section shape and the size of the offset cross section.

Diameter

Sets the diameter of the cross section. This option is available only if you have selected Round in the Shape box.

Width

Sets the width dimension of the cross section. Values stored in the reference data determine the list of options. The list displays only the values that are valid for the current depth. If the depth is not defined, or the Depth box is empty, the width size is based on the default width ratio. This option is available only if you have selected Rectangle or Flat Oval in the Shape box.

Depth

Sets the depth of the cross section. The list of options is determined by the values available in the reference data. The list displays only the values that are valid for the current width. If the width is not defined, or the Width box is empty, the depth is set based on the default width ratio. This option is available only if you have selected Rectangle or Flat Oval in the Shape box.

Orientation

Determines the orientation of the cross section.

Lock Length

Locks or unlocks the Length box.

You can use the Lock Length button when moving features. When leg length is locked during the move of a straight feature, the software automatically modifies the turn points, along with the length and angle of adjacent straight features, to remain connected to the moved leg.

When leg length is not locked during the move of a straight feature, the software extends or shortens the associated legs to connect with the new position of the moved leg.

Offset

Controls the SmartSketch® offset constraint. Type a distance that you want to offset the cableway. Select <Disabled> if you do not want to use the offset. Select Set Offset Reference to define the reference point. See Set Offset Reference Dialog (Cableway).

Max Fill

Displays the percent maximum fill of the cableway straight feature. This button is enabled only if the cable tray contains a cable. Click Max Fill to highlight the straight feature with the displayed maximum cable fill value in the model.

The software updates the cable length and tray fill calculations when you modify cableway networks that contain cables. To defer the cable length and tray fill calculations while performing cableway modifications, click CTRL + SHIFT + C and select Yes in the dialog that displays. Any cables affected by the cableway modifications are now deferred, and you can update them using the To Do List.
