KABGRAF III is a brand-new feature developed from the ground for generation of External Connection Diagrams. It constitutes the third generation KABGRAF in cadett ELSA. The second generation (KABGRAF II) is still available in the software for compatibility reasons.

The new feature is started from the Symbol Insert Tool, in Resource Category c - Miscellaneous.

Distinctive features of the new function include:

•Extremely fast

•Same configurability as generation II

•Option to choose which cables are to be generated and to manually place these as desired

•Option to generate all cables fully automatically

•No "rat nests". The new external wiring diagram follows the cables, not the terminals. This avoids crossing cable cores.

•Support for special automatic marking of protective earth

A new set of symbols for KABGRAF III (generation of external connection diagram) have been added in the IEC, IEC1082 and DIN5A symbol libraries.
