Cable, trunk and cable trunking

The cable trunk was subject to various restrictions in version 7.3. Its flexibility was limited and only a help for the final drawing of electrical cables. With version 8, the situation changes radically. Trunking and cables have been converted to the basic functionality of polylines and have much more flexibility and intelligence. This change in structure will greatly accelerate and simplify the design of electrical installations. The trunk supports the search for the optimal route and thus becomes a real planning tool.

Attention:
All connection functions require Smart snap.
