The cabling sheet is a view of the floor plan with a summary of the paths used by schematic circuits between drop points.
Cabling is indicated with arcs and home runs, with a customizable balance between the two types. Two graphic styles denote the cable runs:
arcs between drop points, usually to indicate short runs, or
home runs to named locations, with tags showing the numbers and types of cables going to a particular destination.
The cable runs are annotated with the quantities and types of cables for each run. Cabling sheets are created automatically as viewports on a sheet layer; see Creating sheet layer viewports. The view can be presented as an overlay on a floor plan viewport.
To create a cabling sheet:
Select the command.
If the cable route has not yet been analyzed with the Analyze Cable Routes command, this analysis occurs automatically to verify the existence of a route for each circuit.
The Create Cabling Sheet dialog box opens.

Cable Annotation Style |
Drag the slider to select the balance between home run indicators and arc indicators. If one of the starting or ending drop points is not visible, a home run annotation is always used for that cable. |
The cabling sheet is created as a viewport on the designated sheet layer. Each drop point has a label with its name. Cabling is indicated with arcs and home runs. The cabling labels are created on the annotation layer of the viewport, where they can be edited.
