Cable Transmutation Overview

When phantom cables (cables in the drawing but not yet in the project database) are all laid out as desired, you then transmutate the phantom cable to add it to the project database.

Transmutating Cables and Assigning Cable Numbers

VidCAD uses cable numbers to identify individual cables in the database. When transmutating cables, the next available cable number is retrieved from the database. You can use this number or enter your own.

Note: The Select Cable Numbers window displays with the next available cable number if the “Ask for cable number” option is checked in the Cable Settings window.
