Why can't you connect 2 anchor points w/suspcable?

Yes, you can.

It's kinda wierd, and won't show it at first, but if you click on the two anchors, you can do it.

And, if you build the deck first, you can drop suspension cable on it.  It will usually stretch and break it, though http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

i was trying to build a rope bridge with suspcable, and i found that you cannot: A, connect 2 anchor points w/suspcable, and B, build deck along suspcable.  what gives?  what's the reasoning here?.... using hvsteel to get around some of this, you can make cool bridges with suspcable beneath, and iron supports up to the deck....
