Routing from the End of a Routable

  This task explains how to route from the end of a routable.
If you route an element with the same type and parameter values as the "source" element (i.e., the element from which the routable is routed), you can specify whether the new element is a continuation of the source element or a separate element. If you want to use the "Continue" option, be sure that the parent for the source element is active before you begin.
1. Select the Route a Run button  .

The Routing dialog box is displayed.

 

2. Define the routing parameters.

See Routing a Run for instructions.

 

3. Move the pointer to the end from which you want to route. When a green arrow appears, click and begin to route. Double click to end routing.

  4. Once you begin routing the following buttons are added to the Routing dialog box: 

Continue Routing: If you select this the run you create will be part of the run from which you are routing. 

Create New Route: If you select this the run you create will be a new run.

5. When starting a run that is a continuation of an existing run, a branch from an existing run, or routing from an object or equipment (nozzle) use either or both of the following buttons as applicable:

Get Size/Spec from Selection: If you select this button the run you create will be a new run but will assume the size and specification attributes of the run or object you are routing from.

Get Line ID from Selection: If you select this button the run you create will assume the same line ID as the run or object from which you are routing. If you de-select it, the new run will belong to the line ID displayed in the menu bar.
