Wire it like you’d build it.
Every device shows its real inputs and outputs. Drag from a port to another port and the cable is drawn, tagged and added to the schedule. Click any cable to rename it, change the type, set a length and add notes.
- Every cable gets a numbered wire tag (AUD-1012, PWR-6002, NET-5002) printed right on the wire
- Show a cable as a full line or as wire tags at each end, so long runs don’t clutter the sheet
- Square or curved wires, color-coded by signal; drag any bend to re-route it
- Wrong connection? It warns you before you wire it
- Delete a device and its cables leave the schedule too
Every cable, one click away.
The Cable Schedule builds itself as you wire. It lists every cable in the project with its tag, type, from, to, length, sheet and notes, and it stays in sync with the drawing.
- Filter cables by tag, device or type to find one fast in a big system
- Renumber every cable in order, and set your own tag prefixes
- Off-sheet labels show where a cable goes when it continues on another sheet
- Delete a cable from the schedule and it’s gone from the drawing too
