Routing Schematic Cables Manually

This task shows you how to route cables manually through selected paths.

The Systems Space Reservation product is a prerequisite.
For more information about it, refer to Systems Space Reservation User's Guide.

Open a document containing at least a schematic system and its corresponding 3D implementation through item/path reservations.

  1. Click the Manual Routing button.

  2. Select a cable or a diagram document.

    The Cable Routing list opens:
    It shows the cables as well as other cable attributes:
    • name: name assigned to the cable
    • status: routed OK, not routed, routed KO (route not OK)
    • 3D extremities: found, not found
    • validated route: true, false
  3. Select one or more cables in the list.

  4. Click the right arrow or the multiple arrow if you want to route all the cables.

  5. Click Select Path(s) to indicate the recommended segments.

    The Edit Path dialog box opens
    Note: If one cable only is selected, a default path is displayed.
  6. Select one or more segments in the geometry.
    The light turns to green.

  7. Choose the appropriate options:

    • Delete old route (default value).
    • Add to current route.
  8. Click OK to validate the entries made.
    The routing is performed.
