It would be extremely important to add Add Manhole, Handholes, Pullboxes IDs to Cable Routing instead of Airgap. Currently Airgap is added into the routing and this does not give design or construction team information on where the circuit should be pulled to when going through these devices.
| How frequently will feature be used? | Several times a day |
| How much time will you save? | This is save the design and construction teams many hours of verifying what the Airgap is related to. |

I think we can expect that both methods can and will be used since they are included in the software. In underground design users may be more likely to place them as equipment as this would follow the workflow for adding manholes. Above grade design they would likely be placed using raceway tools.
@Guest I can understand that manholes would be nice to include in the routing path, and I agree they are not included today. Can you clarify how you are defining your pullboxes; are these being inserted as equipment like junction boxes or are you defining these as conduit fittings that are placed via the Raceway Router? If they are equipment we normally define them as cable targets in the cable list. If they are fittings normally these would show up in the routing path if an ID is assigned to them.
Similarly, can you describe how you are handling handholes today?
