Named Paths help you track cable lengths.




Before You Start

This tool assumes that you have already calculated the cable path length. If you have a scaled floor plan consider tracing the path with a polyline from which you can measure length. Remember when using this method to add in the elevation traverses. Also, the unit of measure of the polyline length will be in DU which you must convert to your unit of measure.

Adding a Named Path

  1. Open the Named Paths Grid. Database>Named Paths Grid.
  2. Enter your path data.
