Data cables carry data signals, such as network, DMX, and audio information, from controllers to the various devices, or from device to device.

Data cables can be automatically added to the drawing; see Creating a data cable chain.

To insert a data cable:

1.      Click the tool and mode.

2.Click to place the start of the cable, and draw the cable polyline, clicking at each vertex. Double-click to finish drawing the cable.

The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
