Routing generates routing connections between the 3D part placements that follow the real course of the wires and cables in the routing path network. If there are no connection points defined for a part placement, they will be generated prior to the routing.
Apart from the routing track, the length of wires is also determined. All information thus determined can be used as wiring instructions or to control wire fabrication machines.
Precondition:
You have opened a project. A layout space is open. The routing path network is generated.
- Select the following commands: Tab Edit > Command group Routing connections > Route.
In the status bar, you are prompted to select the connections to be routed. - Enter the two corner points of a rectangle that comprises the part placements and connections to be routed. The most efficient routing track is calculated. The routing connections are displayed in 3D representation. The routing connections are assigned the properties Length, Routing track, Routing track specification, Connection dimension, Routing direction, Wire termination processing, and Dual sleeve prescribed.
Example: Routing connection through three wire ducts
