Lighting

On a show site, feeder cables are usually set up first. These carry power from the building service or generator to the distribution systems that power the lights, motors, amplifier racks (power distribution racks and dimmer racks), video projectors, and more.

To insert a feeder 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.
