an existing cable. You can edit a cable, but only if it is not used in an Article.
Creating a cable
1. Enter the cable builder screen (see Figure 29) and perform the following steps:
a. Choose the Type of layer in the drop down starting from the center of the cable (conductor).
b. Choose the color for the layer you want for the cable to show.
c. Input dimension from manufacturer cable specifications for the diameter. Dimensions that are
impossible for the selected layer or may damage the machine will show an error when entered. A
value that has an error must be amended before the machine will run an article with that cable.
d. Press p
lus symbol “+”

2. As the layers of the cable are added, the Front View, Cutaway View, and Component Selectors will
show each new layer of the cable. The Front View and Cutaway View show the layers and their
dimensions, and the component selector shows the type of layer from the center of the cable at the
top and the outermost layer at the bottom of the list.
