Fine-tuning Connections

This task explains how to refine connections, moving them to other points within the same item of equipment. In this example, you will move the connection from a connector down to a contact point.

Connections are considered properly made when the connection is established from the contact point.

  1. Select the electrical component or the signal whose connections you want to refine in the tree view, for example connector P8.

  2. Click the Refine View button I_RefineView.gif (670 bytes) in the Workshop Commands toolbar.

    The Refine View shows all connections established for the current object.

  3. In the Refine view, select the connection you want to modify, for example the 28 V power connection.

    Components making up the equipment at which the connection is made are displayed in the bottom half of the window.

  4. In the bottom half of the window, select the component at which you want the connection made, for example contact point P8-5:

    • Double-click the component, or
    • Click the component and then click Refine Connections.

    The path in the top half of the window is updated.

  5. Click OK to validate the modification.
