Abstract: Automated cabling layout systems and methods are presented. A cabling assembly library stores multiple generic, design-tool agnostic cabling assembly objects representing cabling layout objects (e.g., cables, trays, mounts, conduits, etc.). The cabling assembly objects further include design rules governing the conditions of use of the cabling assembly object. Design engineers or designers can query the library to identify appropriate cabling assembly objects that would be appropriate for using within a modeled physical environment. One or more matching cabling assembly objects can be converted to an appropriate format for a design tool and instantiated into the modeled environment. The design tool can create modeled cabling layouts from the instantiated assemblies according to the design rules of the corresponding cabling assembly objects.
