I AM OFTEN TIMES RE-USING CABLE ID'S FROM A PREVIOUS ENGINEER AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE 2 DASHES IN THE CABLE ID.
SO FOR EXAMPLE INSTEAD OF THIS "A-0001-" I WOULD PREFER OPTION FOR A0001 OR A-0001.

You can set this up in the Cable Number Format tool.
Create a new format with a name and description.
Add the SignalTypePrefix variable. Set the Order field to 0.
Add a NumeriSequence variable that Sequences On SignalTypePrefix. Set the Order field to 1.
Your output will then be A1001
if you want the dash inbetween then do this:
Create a new format with a name and description.
Add the SignalTypePrefix variable. Set the Order field to 0.
Add a String variable and set the Format field to -. Set the Order field to 1
Add a NumeriSequence variable that Sequences On SignalTypePrefix. Set the Order field to 2.
Your output will be A-1001
