Place cables from node

This function allows you to place cables from a node to a set of customer nodes, by selecting a feeding node and then placing a polygon around the customer nodes. For each selected customer node, a cable is placed in the shortest route path to the feeding node. The cables are placed directly in the route.

The created cables and ducts have a standard configuration that sets the ID of the cables and ducts. That configuration can be modified, please contact Digpro for help.

Note! This function requires the Designer module. The function is therefore not available in the application if the Designer module is missing.
