Compute Cutting Length of a Cable (EWR_Compute_CableCuttingLength)

An opening ID is an entry point used to customize business logic. The Compute_CableCuttingLength opening ID is available in the Electrical physical system design resources set. This opening ID lets you compute and display the cutting length in the Cable Manager Assistant panel.

Note: For more information about customization by business rules, see Installation and Setup: Customize: Behavior: Data Setup: Customization by Business Rules.

General Information

This opening ID is invoked for the cables whose cutting length mode is automatic in the following scenarios:

  • When you synchronize the cable routes information with the cables in the Cable Management command
  • When the cutting length mode modified from Manual to Automatic
  • When the Extra length from or the Extra length to attributes are modified
  • When you estimate the cable routes

For more information, see Electrical 3D Design User's Guide: Synchronizing Cables with Cable Routes.
