Changing the Lable Cuve in a Cable Tray?

[ndbrainard]

I am running ABS 2007.1 and I want to make a button that will run the cable tray command but instead of using the size of the tray (I.E. 6x4) as the tag, it would say something like PSA (Plug Strip Assembly). I can create a new label curve with the PSA verbiage and manually modify it but I just want a button to make it user friendly......Any one know any thing about this?

Hmmm... I never thought of using the cable tray command to draw plug mold. I'm assuming that is what you're doing. If so, great idea.

The easy way to do this would be to enter the "PSA" text in the description field and then create a tag that looks at the description property set definition (PSD) of cable tray. Once the tag is created you can drag and drop it to your palette to make it available all of the time.

However, I have created a cable tray system for Buss Duct and have set up a palette button that draws buss duct. ^C^C(command "_AecbCableTrayAdd" "sy" "Feeder Buss Duct")

You could create a cable tray system for plug mold and then create a palette button for drawing plug mold.

This would give you several advantages:


You could limit the sizes of the plug mold to only the sizes you want.
It would allow you to use the the Size Tag to not only say "PSA "or "Plug Strip Assembly" but also the size of the plug mold.
Once you have done that you could create a tag that looks at the Size Tag PSD.
I hope I'm not off base as to what you are trying to accomplish.
