Cable and bundle decorations signify core groupings, they graphically group fibers as a cable or bundle. You can use one of 13 predefined decorations or create your own decoration in the catalog. You can not edit predefined decorations. Examples of a twisted overall, a zig-zag, and an overall dotted decoration are shown below, in consecutive order:

When you move a component connected to a cable or bundle with a decoration, the decorations near this component moves as well. The system attempts to retain the original distance between the component and the decoration in this move and in subsequent moves.

To instance a label when you instance a cable or bundle, make sure that in the catalog shape the label is added to the decoration and not to the cable or bundle group or to individual conductors.

Decorations that are placed on individual conductors are called markers. A marker is used to display the conductor name and the conductor parameters. Use the accessor <conductor> to call the cable name, use <conductor!param> where param is a parameter name to call specific parameters from the marker label. In the figure below the accessor for the cable marker label is <conductor!color>
