Cable schedule

The pages after the drawing sheets that list every cable of the icons on the exported pages, with totals.

The cable schedule is the pages after the drawing sheets that list the cables to pre-wire, check off and buy. It lists exactly the cables of the icons on that PDF's pages, as their views show them. A cable whose far end is on a page left out is still listed, its far end named. It is not the equipment list.

It starts with totals per cable type, per rack or panel and for the project, with the correction added. Then a section per rack or panel, titled with its Number and name (R-1 · MAIN RACK), the main one first, then Not assigned in grey. With more than one building it is grouped by building first. Each row is one cable, with its Cable ID and, down its edge, the colour its rack's or panel's icon is drawn in. A group's rows follow a line with its members and count against its limit. A shade drawn before with a motor in each section has a cable to each motor, measured to it and noted Motor 2 of 3. Wireless shades on a battery or outlet print as note lines closing their section, never in a total.

A project has one once it has a rack or panel. Each version keeps the schedule it printed, so a later edit never changes it: an older one may still say HE1 or head end. The same rows download as a CSV.

Tasks: Export the cable schedule, download the cable CSV, read cable totals.
