The Create Cable Worksheet command creates editable worksheets with database rows according to the cable type. For more information, see Worksheets.

The Create Cable Worksheets dialog box opens. Select the cable worksheets to create.
2. For each worksheet to be created, click Worksheet Setup.
The Select [Cable type] Fields dialog box opens.
Click
to show/hide the parameters.
3. Cable worksheets can be filtered by layer; only the cables in the selected layer or layers are included in the generated worksheets. Select Filter Cable Display by Layer, and then click Select Layers.
The Select Layers dialog box opens. The layers in the file are listed.
4. Click on the layers with cables to include in worksheets (Shift-click to select multiple layers, up to five).
The worksheet rows are sorted by the unique cable Run ID number. In addition to the selected fields, the cable’s layer information is included. At the bottom of the worksheet, an inventory of cable wire type, length, number of cables required, connectors, adapters, and for multicables, break ins and break outs, is provided.
Because the cable worksheets consist of database rows, edits to the worksheet are applied to the objects in the drawing.
Once the worksheets have been generated, reflect any drawing changes by selecting the Create Cable Worksheet command again and regenerating the worksheets.
