13.4 Resize/Set Fill for Raceway When Finished

CM+ will automatically size trays and conduits that are not ‘size locked’. In order to perform this

function quickly, CM+ resizes raceway when:

1) Requested by the user.

2) After Batch Routing (if option is checked).

3) When making a tray or conduit design report (as opted)

4) When making an issue.

Raceway fill is always maintained automatically during the routing process or when a cable is deleted.

However, there may be conditions that affect raceway fill and sizing such as:

1) Cable type is changed for cable

2) Cable diameter or area is changed for a cable type

3) A conductor size is changed for a cable type

4) Reserve fill is changed

5) A tray or conduit type is changed

6) A tray or conduit size is changed

7) Cable routes are added or deleted by some external process not controlled by CM+

Warning - If this option is not checked the % fill of trays and conduits are not recalculated for display

in the raceway data spreadsheet. You may choose to perform the Resize/Set % Fill function by

selecting the Audits, Calcs and Tools main menu command and then selecting Raceway – Regen

Fill/Resize.
