Marker
A Marker tab is used to define a marker for the cables.
Markers represent shrink wrap tubing that is placed on a cable during the manufacturing process to identify the cable for assembly, maintenance, and repair purposes. Markers are represented as cylindrical features around the selected cable with a name tag to identify the marker. The tag switches on and off with the display of the datum point.
