    Hi,

    Would it be possible to add point snapper match function to the cable start and end labels?

    This would for instance make it possible to add a point snapper to a Dimmer World, an LX, FOH etc. or even a break-out-box model and have the cable ends easily snap to that.
    It would also make it possible to enter 'Fixture' or 'Truss' in the cable end box and have it snap to that etc. 
    Currently it is possible to manually add two point snappers to a cable of course but this makes for a lot of hassle while manouvering end points.

    I hope this is possible,
    All the best,

    Fon Sanders

    Cable end points should already be snapping to point snappers, regardless of their Match property. Are you saing that you are not seeing this behaviour, or are you looking to filter our which point snappers a cable endpoint snaps to?

    Hi,

    Indeed I can't seem to get that behaviour to work. Maybe I did something wrong though. I've imported a model, and i've grouped a point snapper with that model with the match property "harting". If i then try to get a cable to snap to it it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried with a new point snapper and cable, not grouped or labeled at all and that also does not seem to be snapping.

    The option to filter out which point a endpoint snaps to was also on my mind as a usefull feature but that was not the main issue.
