Use the cable definition’s formatting controls to display a neutral cable with a dashed line. This changes the drawing appearance; the available evidence does not establish that it changes the connection’s electrical designation.
Supported Configuration Path
Insert the cable through Insert > Cable definition. Select the inserted cable, then open Format > Line type and choose the required dashed line style.
Configuration Procedure
- Open the schematic page where the neutral cable must appear.
- Select Insert > Cable definition and place the cable.
- Select the inserted cable.
- Open Format > Line type.
- Select the dashed line type required for the drawing.
Verification and Scope
Confirm that the selected cable is rendered with the chosen dashed pattern. If another connection remains solid, verify that you formatted the intended cable definition rather than a different graphical object. The evidence does not identify an EPLAN version, so menu wording or placement may differ; locate the equivalent cable-definition line-type setting if the stated path is unavailable.
FAQ
How do I make a neutral cable dashed in EPLAN?
Insert or select the cable definition, then use Format > Line type and choose the required dashed style.
Where is the cable line-type setting in EPLAN?
The supported path is Insert > Cable definition, followed by selecting the cable and opening Format > Line type.
Why is the EPLAN cable still displayed as a solid line?
Confirm that the cable definition itself is selected before changing Format > Line type. Also verify that the chosen style is dashed and that you are inspecting the same cable object.
