Hey!
Is there a functionality to be able to draw cables across different drawings? I'm drawing up a multi-room system and each room connects back to a central rack and these need to be separate drawings.
Cheers!

Hi Novski,
Well, it all depends on what users' objectives are; the original poster was looking for a way to consolidate in the Cable Schedule different Cable objects in different drawings that represent the same physical cable.
In SD7.2 users can, and do, document systems of all types and sizes, from the smallest to the largest. From your earlier posts there's a suggestion of a 'pagesize-centric' viewpoint, and you mention Visio in which drawings are page-based; this could be creating some preconceptions which may not be appropriate for SD7.2.
Drawings in SD7.2 are not constrained to any particular page size - this is only defined at time of output - so any drawing can be any size.
Furthermore, if all you are concerned about is the drawing as a visual representation of a system then different drawings can contain representations of cables that are not related to each other internally, in terms of data, but which can visually purport to represent the same physical cable e.g. by a manual annotation.
But, the real answer depends on the specific scenario that you're thinking about. For this we would always return to the question "what is your objective?" or "what, if anything, is the problem you're trying to solve?". With these questions we can throw away any preconceptions or the idea of "I am trying to do x/y/z" and address the real task at hand. I hope this makes sense.
Kind regards,
Rob Robinson
