Hi.
We need to add a couple of multicore fibers between some patchpanels, and are looking into the multicore functionality and cable number format.

We would like to have the following format of the cable numer: PrefixNumber-Multicoredata

Today we have the following for the Fotmat:
SIGNALTYPEPREFIX \w{1,6}
NUMBERICSEQUENCE SIGNALTYPEPREFIX \d{1,5}

We would like to add:
STRING -
MULTICOREDATA [a-zA-Z0-9 _\-\,\&/\\]*

When I do this then the String is always shown (EG IP10900-) even if there are no MULTICOREDATA. How can I hide the STRING when there are no MULTICOREDATA (To only get IP10900)?

Thanks in advance

There is no way to remove the trailing dash in the format tool.
You can use the attached plugin to do it.
Unzip the attached file and copy the contents to:
C:\users\public documents\WireCAD\WireCAD9\bin

NOTE: This plugin is compiled for WireCAD v9.1

The operation of this plugin is silent. It simply checks the formatted cable number string and removes a trailing dash if one exists.
The plugin will load on WireCAD start or if you open the Plug Manager and click [Rescan and Reload all Plugins]
