Connecting a Routable
 |
This task shows you how to connect a routable. | |
 |
You can use this function to connect two routables, connect a routable to a part or connect to a hole connector. A run, rather than a path reservation or boundary, is used here to illustrate the function. | |
|
|
1. |
Click the Connect Run button
and then select one of the elements you want to connect. The element you
select first will be the slave element and will be the one that moves to
join the master element. You must click on one of the green connection
indicators on the slave run, as shown in the illustration below.
|
| 2. | Select the master element. The
first run will move to connect to the master run and the connection symbol
will display.
|
|
|
|
The slave run will
connect to the master at the green connection indicator that you select.
You can select any point on the master run for the slave to connect to. If
you select a point in the middle of the master run then you may have to
move the two near to each other to create the connection. The images below
show connections in the middle and at the end.
You can also connect a run to a part using the method described above. If the part does not have a connector then you must create one. |
|
| 3. |
You do not need to
select the green connector indicator to connect a run to a hole connector.
You can click on a segment of the run instead. In the image below the user
first selected the run segment and then the hole connector on the clamp to
place the run through it.
