Source and Target of Cables: Overview

The first cable connection of a cable determines the source and target of the cable. Which cable connection is the first one depends on the project setting Determine source and target according to the sequence in the cable navigator.

The following settings affect the source and target of the cable:

  • Project setting for cables: Determine source and target according to the sequence in the cable navigator
  • Cable property Use connected devices as source and target
  • Project setting for cables: Determine source and target of the cables via the cable connections
  • Cable property Cables: Exchange source and target

Is the project property Determine source and target according to the sequence in the cable navigator activated?

__Yes __ | ___ No

The source and target of the first cable connection in the cable navigator are considered.

The source and target of the graphically first cable connection are considered in accordance with the reporting direction of the plot frame.

If the Use connected devices as source and target property is activated at the cable, the pins of the determined cable connection are skipped.

Is the Determine source and target of the cables via the cable connections project setting activated?

__Yes___ | ___No

The cable adopts the source and target from the connection determined above.

From the determined source and the determined target the source and target of the cable are determined by means of the Source / Target rules.

If the Cables: Exchange source and target property is activated at the cable, the source and target of the cable are exchanged again.
