So what I can do is I can actually tell somebody in the real world who's wiring this up in a real location with a real motor which wire is going where because of the colors of the cables with these cable markers. And they're really useful, because it allows me to obviously markup my AutoCAD electrical drawing with those cable markers and specify which colors they actually are. Now, I'm going to do this in a really simplistic way just to show you the workflow and the process in the AutoCAD electrical toolset. So what we're going to do is…
