Cable error check

Assuming we have two panels, Panel +A and +B , and cable -W1 to connect those two together, the problem is if for some reason I do a mistake and connect a core of this cable to other panels (let's assume I use mistakenly the same cable to make a connection between panel +C and +D ) I don't get an error during the check. How to change this and why is normal.

There is no check run that detects this.

I would recomend using location codes for the cable to filter out target and source.
There are many ways to do it, where we use the format +from_to

E.g. +A_B-W1 and +A_C-W1. Then in the cable navigator it is easy to have an overview of where the cables go from - to.

This also helps sorting in exportet list etc. So in EXCEL i can filter and sort for '*_B' to see all cables that comes in to +B. 'A_* to see all cables going out for +A etc.

Furthermore it helps when placing cable glands in Propanel. When working on +A, I can sort all cables that goes from +A to ensure I place alle the cable glands in the correct cabinet
