Hi guys! I have a question about cable jumps. Let's say I have 2 cables that cross the third cable. If I add a cable jump to one of them, then everything is fine. But if I add a cable jump to the second, it's not what I'd like to see. How to make, that when adding a cable jump to the second cable, would it copy the first one and together they looked like a single cable? See attachmenet pic.
Thanks.

I see what you are after. Unfortunately the program is working as designed. The jumps utility will not place vertex on top of vertex. You could manually place the vertexes then set the bulge factor on that segment, but that would be tedious if you have more than one occurrence in your drawing. I will put this in the queue for revision.

Thanks for the answer and such a decision.
Now I'll do it manually. But after adding vertex, I can't find nothing about bulge factor parameter. Not in cable properties, not in right-mouse-click menu. And nothing interesting in help. Where I can find it and change it to look like cable jump?
Thanks.
