Cable Specification

Cable specification codes control several aspects of PlantWise.

  • OUTSIDE-DIAMETER – is the routed diameter of the cable.
  • PIPEWAY-LEVEL (:UTILITY, :PROCESS, or another user chosen level name) – determines the preferred routing levels for cables of the specification.

    By default, the AutoRouter places UTILITY cables first on the second level of a multi-level pipeway while PROCESS cables prefer the first level. You can change level setting in the Pipeway Builder (see Editing Level Names).

  • CAD-LEVEL – designates what level cables of each specification should draw to.
