Raceway Properties

The Raceway Properties function lets you set the raceway object properties. The raceway object selected determines the properties displayed in the manager.

Accessed from:

Raceway Ribbon > Cable Tray & Conduit Tool Group

Note: Not all properties described in the table below will display for every raceway object.

When you select this option, Tool Settings dialog displays as shown:

You can either select specific segments of a raceway, or select the whole raceway route.

Tip: Click Here for details on selecting raceways to modify.

Once the raceway to be modified is chosen, the Raceway Property Manager displays:

Setting	Description
Select Raceway	Click this option to select a raceway in the drawing to modify its properties. The Tool Settings dialog displays (see above) prompting you to select the method by which the raceway is selected (Segment or Route).
Visualization Mode	Possible Visualization: 3D Model - Shows only the 3D Model Routing Line - Shows only the routing lines 3D Model + Routing Line - Shows both, 3D Model and routing lines
Max Weight	Enter the maximum weight possible on selected raceway system.
Dividers	Number of dividers: <none> 1 2 3
Divider/Section [%] (OPTIONAL)	If the raceway contains dividers, then these fields display letting you define the percentage of space each divided section will occupy. A pick list provides commonly used capacity percentages so that you can quickly set the capacity. The <Dynamic> option is designed to automatically calculate the size of the sections created by the divider in order to allow the maximum number of cables to be routed. When the <Dynamic> option is chosen the system will begin routing assuming that the first section has 100% available. If it fills up the entire raceway with cables in this one section then no other cables can be routed. If it fills up 80% then the remaining 20% can be used for other cables in the second section. If it fills up only 20% in Section 1, then Section 2 will automatically be set to 80% even if no cables need to be routed in that section.
Voltage Level	Possible Voltage Level: <none> LV MV CTRL IW COM
Layer	Possible Layer: <none> Layer 1 - Layer 10
Redundancy	Possible value: <none> Redundancy A Redundancy B Redundancy C
Status	Possible value: <none> Design Released Built
Max Capacity	Possible value: <none> low (50%) medium (75%) high (100%)
Accessories (Route)	Selection of possible Accessories (Hanger,...)
Accessories (Raceway)	Selection of possible Accessories sets (Brackets, Dividers,...)
Voltage Level <Section 2-4>	Possible Voltage Level for additional section: <none> LV MV CTRL IW COM
Layer <Section 2-4>	Possible Layer for additional section: <none> Layer 1 - Layer 10
Redundancy <Section 2-4>	Possible value for additional section: <none> Redundancy A Redundancy B Redundancy C
Max Capacity <Section 2-4>	Possible value for additional section: <none> low (50%) medium (75%) high (100%)

The above properties are assigned to other raceways. Select start and end points, intervening (connected) routes are automatically added to the properties.

You pick certain routes to assign the properties.
