Hello, I'm doing a drawing that is using some Yamaha MY8-AE AES Cards. I need to build a DB25 breakout cable and show that going to the input of some amplifiers. I can't figure out how to do that correctly in wirecad. I'm not using all the connectors on the DB25 to XLR cable, but I can't figure out how to correctly build this. Can you send me any helpful hints or tips on doing that?

Hi Joe. You could do this several different ways. I might recommend using a one-to-many cable:

Also see the attached.
You will have to decide whether the one-to-many cable is represented in the database by one entry or many.
You must make this decision before drawing the cable.
I hope this helps.
