[feature]Cable glands support?
Hi!
Many thanks for sharing this project, it really rocks!
I am working on creating a documentation for a cable where I would need to add a cable gland to the cable during the cable assembly.
I have seen the discussion in #31 about similar thing and it might be useful to bring this up for further discussion because it could be useful for others as well.
- With the current (master branch) version, you can add notes to the cable that describes the glands.
- With the current dev branch (that probably soon will become a new release), you can also add custom BOM entries. This feature is currently only described in the syntax documentation draft.
- With the same new release, it probably also will be possible to include a custom image inside the cable node, in case that might help you visualize cable related properties, e.g. a gland.
- Any implementation of #31 is not yet suggested. Feel free to contribute with your use case and ideas also in that discussion.
Well I have to think more about how would it be the most elegant/straightforward.
Adding glands as a note could be problematic since they have installation direction, they could have an installation position in a given distance between connectors etc.
Graphic wise I would imagine something like this:
(Basically a vector drawing of a gland which diameter would fit to the wires.)
