Navigation:  Getting Started > Defining Locations

 

Explanation

 

New in WireCAD v7 is the Locations lookup table. Here you can predefine your locations; thus maintaining referential integrity across all of your locations. In order to use this function you must set Projects>Settings>Project [Locations] Use v7 Locations = true. If this setting is false, WireCAD behaves as it did in previous versions allowing you to type any value in the Location field of the SysName Assignment dialog.

 

When using the new v7 Locations setting you will need to add locations before you can make use of them in the SysName Assignment dialog.

 

There is one other ramification of using v7 Locations: in the Cables table are two new fields SRCEL and DESTEL (Source Elevation, Destination Elevation). These are now populated as you assign cables. This provides an additional level of control as you create reports.
