Optimize wire cabling order

The cabling order optimization command works alongside the cabling order management command. Its behavior is different depending on whether or not you have created a 2D cabinet layout.

 

Menu: Electrical project > Optimize wire cabling order

 

If you have created a 2D cabinet layout, cabling order optimization takes into account the position of components inserted in the cabinet to limit the length of the wires.

If there is no 2D cabinet layout, optimization will be performed using the position of components in the scheme drawings.

Selection

Whole project: Handles all of the electrical project complex equipotentials.

Current book: Handles the equipotentials present on the drawings of the book which contains the current drawing.

Wires selected in scheme: Only handles the equipotentials of the wires currently selected in the drawing.

Selected locations: Opens the location selector, letting you select the locations to handle.

Action

Remove manual wire cabling order: Removes and recalculates the manual cabling order (performed manually by the user).

Remove cable core association: Cabling order optimization does not handle wires representing a cable core by default. Select this option to automatically uncable the wires handled.

Remove bridges: Cabling order optimization does not handle connections representing bridges by default. Select this option to automatically delete the bridges.

Cabling direction in 2D cabinet layout

Select the direction you want to optimize the cabling order from the 2D cabinet layout.
