Group selection and bulk edit

Change many HANs or cables at once instead of editing them one by one. This guide continues from Extending the simple network and creating a ring.

Change all cables or HANs in a system

1. In the left panel, expand Bulk edit. The changes apply to the whole system shown under Applies to system.
   
2. Choose what to change. You can set the model or power supply and the power (W) of all HANs, the cable category and model/size of all cables, or change all cable lengths.
3. Cable lengths change by a percentage, not to a fixed length. Enter, for example, -65 to make every cable 65% shorter (200 m becomes 70 m), then click Apply to all in system.
   
4. All cables in the system are updated, including the ring cable. To undo the change, click Reset to original lengths.
   

Tip: the panel shows how much the cables can grow before the system overloads, for example Cables can grow by up to +173%.

Select several HANs

1. Click the first HAN, then hold Ctrl and click the other HANs you want. Selected HANs get a blue outline.
   
2. Drag one of the selected HANs to move them all together.
   

Change only the selected HANs

1. With the HANs selected, scroll down in Bulk edit to Selected HANs. The number in brackets shows how many HANs are selected.
2. Enter the new value, for example 80 in Selected HANs (2) → power (W), and click Apply to selected.
   
3. Only the selected HANs change. The other HANs keep their values.
   

Please note: check the Validation panel and the system card after a bulk change, and export the design file to keep your work.
