You can remove a cable from the diagram view without deleting the connection. The cables already connected can be placed in a diagram view again.

The following types of cable can be routed:

  • Cable group
  • Logical cable
  • Shielded cable
  • Twisted cable
  • Twisted and shielded cable
  • Power cable
  • Coax cable

Before you begin: In the diagram view,
  • Place the two components.
  • Create a cable and connect the two components.
  • In Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Architecture > Electrical Sys. Design > Schematic, clear the Cable option. For more information, see Native Apps Preferences Guide: Schematic.
