  3. Select the support point, which should be associated to the Multi track cross arm.
  4. Run the Create Multi Track Cross Arm function. .
  5. Insert the relevant parameters into the edit fields. The ID will be automatically assigned from Sicat Master. The distance between cross-arm brackets and pole will also be predefined.

Result

Sicat Master creates a multi track arm, a drop tube which is fixed at the multi track arm, and the cantilever. The data will be saved in the database.

Between holder and support point a connection line appears in the graphics. The function positions the cross arm drop tube exactly in the middle between both rails. With suitable moves and edit functions the position of the cross arm drop tube can be changed afterwards. With the function Align the cantilever and the multitrack cross arm can be aligned vertical to the track.

Note: If there was multitrack cross arm chosen as a holder while creating the cantilever, the program will automatically apply a new multitrack cross arm drop tube and will connect it to the new cantilever.
