Inserting and Changing Wiring Cut-Outs

Wiring cut-outs are used to steer connections during routing to the back of mounting panels, partitions, or other enclosure items. During routing automatic routing paths are used that arise during the creation of the routing path network between the part placements and the wiring cut-out.

  1. Select the Insert > Wiring cut-out menu items.

    The status bar shows a prompt "Starting point of the wiring cut-out".

    When determining the starting and end point, you can use the Placement options popup menu item, and use the relative coordinate input.
  2. Place the starting point of the wiring cut-out on an activated area of a mounting panel.

    The status bar shows a prompt "End point of the wiring cut-out".
  3. Pull the wiring cut-out apart in the desired direction like a rectangle.
