Add a Cable Ladder Component

Piping Design

Add a cable ladder component to a cable ladder line.

  1. Do either of the following:
    • On the tab, in the Cable Ladder group, select Add Cable Ladder Component.
    • Select the context-sensitive function Add> Cable Ladder Component.
  2. Select the component from the library. Browse - Archives

    You can only select components from the component library that are suited to the active cable ladder component's material and size.

    For example, if you select a new value in the Diameter field, the selection of the component will change.

  3. After selecting the component, select the component properties.
    • Select component properties in the fields of the contextual toolbar.
    • If editing the component in a dimension table is allowed, select the Dimension table function and edit the properties.
  4. You can position the component on a center line or a handle. For example, a Snap function is selected.

    If you wish to place the component onto a face, select the Snap function.

    Before clicking a position for the component, you can change the location of the handle, for example.
