Proposed Wires

Once all the photos in view are completely annotated and traced with existing wire info, you can add the proposed cables. 

When proposing new cable attachments in Katapult Pro, start by reviewing the map to determine which type of proposed cable needs to be annotated. If the connection type is aerial cable or slack span, you'll need to propose the appropriate communication cable, such as fiber optic. However, if the connection type attribute indicates overhead guy or pole-to-pole guy, you'll need to propose a guy wire instead. The map styles are designed to help communicate the connection type attribute, making it easier to identify which proposed cable should be annotated for each connection.

To propose a new aerial communication cable, you can either press the equals (=) key on your keyboard or click the scroll wheel on your mouse. Once the proposed cable is created, right-click on one of the proposed markers to update the cable type and company attributes.

In a situation where multiple proposed communication cables may be needed and traced into different spans, you can hold CTRL and press the equals (=) key, or hold CTRL and click the scroll wheel on your mouse, to insert additional proposed cables. Once the proposed cables are created, right-click on one of the proposed markers to update the cable type and company attributes.

To propose a new aerial guy (either overhead or pole-to-pole), hold SHIFT and press the equals (=) key, or hold SHIFT and click the scroll wheel on your mouse. Once the proposed guy is created, right-click on one of the proposed markers to update the company attribute.

Katapult Pro uses logic to automatically position proposed cables based on your existing annotations. The system will first look for annotated communication cables and place the proposed cables above them, using the inches of clearance configured for your make-ready rule. If no communication cables are present, the proposed cables will be positioned below the lowest power annotations, again based on the clearance specifications defined in your make-ready rule.
