Hi Support,

when I want to add a number to cores of multicore cable I have to select desired number twice. It is not a very big problem, but it has to be done for every single core so it disables any automated process.

True. But you should be able to select a group of cables and start the assignment. Pick the first core and the program will prompt you to apply the remaining selection to the available cores.

When I do that, WireCAD does not add a number which I have prepared for multicores. For example; I add a new multicore cable with 8 cores and I want them to be marked with numbers AAM-01-1 - AAM-01-8. I select a cable, I open a edit dialog box and select a number AAM-01-1. I click update and WireCAD add a differnt number (first one from "next number dialog box" depended on signal type). So I have noticed, if I select a desired number twice - it works. If I want to do that with a group selection, wirecad add a wrong number to first selected core but add a vright number to the rest of selected cores. If I want to rectify a first core, I can't do that because the number which I want to select is vanish from edit dialog box and my cable stays marked with wrong number. So, I can add a desired number to any core I want but I have to select it twice in edit dialog box. As I said, problem is that it takes too much time, and if I made a mistake and add a wrong number I have to do it from the start, because I lost the number. I hope that I described the problem clearly and that you understood my problem.
