Individual Wire and Cable Parameters
The following table lists the available parameters for individual wires and cables. These parameters are established when the wire or cable is created, but are not passed from the spool.
NAME
Indicates the name of the wire or cable. This value is read-only in the parameter field and is created automatically upon creation of a wire or cable. Click Edit > Value to change the name of the wire or cable. The value of this parameter updates automatically in the file.
Format: NAME read-only_string
Example: NAME CABLE0001
SPOOL
Indicates the spool used for a wire or cable. This value is read-only and is created automatically upon creation of a wire or cable. Select the wire or cable and click Edit > Properties to change the spool of the wire or cable. The value of this parameter updates automatically.
Format: SPOOL read-only_string.
MAX_ALLOWED_LENGTH
(Cabling)
Sets the maximum allowed length of a wire or cable.
Format: MAX_ALLOWED_LENGTH value
Example: MAX_ALLOWED_LENGTH 12
MIN_ALLOWED_DISTANCE
(Cabling)
Routes the wire offset from all others at a location by the specified distance. This physically affects the display of the wires.
Format: MIN_ALLOWED_DISTANCE value
Example: MIN_ALLOWED_DISTANCE 2.5
TARGET_LENGTH
(Cabling)
Sets the ideal length for a wire or cable.
Format: TARGET_LENGTH value
Example: TARGET_LENGTH 6.2
User Defined
Establishes a user-defined parameter that can be accessed like other wire or cable parameters. Value may be <parameter_name> or text_string.
Value: <parameter_name>text_string
Example: MANUFACTURER X_Corp.
* 
Only required parameters are applied to an individual wire or cable when you create it.
If a wire is separated from a cable, it does not inherit any parameters from the cable. This wire is treated as a newly created wire and has only the default required parameters, NAME and SPOOL.
Wire and cable parameters can be used to create labels and notes by adding the prefix cbl_ for a cable or wire_ for a wire to the wire or cable parameter.
