Routing Flexibles from a Connector

This task shows you how to route flexibles from and to connectors.
You should be familiar with concepts and steps described in Routing Flexibles.
1. With your document open, click the Select a Connector button in the Flexible Routing dialog box. Move your mouse pointer over the part from which you want to route. Connectors will display as you do this - select the connector from which you want to route.

  2. Move the mouse pointer to the part to which you want to route - again you will see connectors. Select the connector you want to route to. The flexible will be routed between the two connectors (there may be a few seconds delay).

  3. If you want to use a dialog box to select the connectors, then click the Part Connector Dialog button and select the part you want to route from. A (selected part) dialog box displays, showing you the connectors on the part, the attributes defined on it, and their values. At the same time connectors display on the part - the orange connector is the one that is currently selected.

Select the connector (in the dialog box) that you want to route from and click OK.

  4. Click the part you want to route to. The Selected Part dialog box displays again. Select the connector you want to route to and click OK. The flexible will be routed. The image below shows the green line that displays as an indicator after you select the part you want to route to.
