6 Continue adjusting until you are satisfied with the shape, right-click, and
select OK.
NOTE Once a segment is created, you can select it in the browser, and then select
Bend Radius ➤ Check from the context menu to verify whether any points along
the segment violate the bend radius value. Make sure the bend radius multiplier
is set before checking the points. Select “bend radius, check” in the Help index
for more details on bend radius checking.
Insert Segment Work Points
If the design changes so that you need more control over the segment shape
in certain areas, you can insert additional points.
Add a segment work point
1 Double-click Harness Assembly1 to activate it in place, if it is not already
active.
2 In the browser or graphics window, right-click Segment2, and then select
Add Points from the context menu.
3 Pause the cursor over the area of the segment shown in the illustration.
The path and work points highlight as you move the cursor over the
segment.
4 Click the path to add the point.
The point is added and the segment recomputes.
