Delete Harness Segment Work Points
To delete a work point from a harness segment, activate the harness assembly,
right-click the point to remove, and then select Delete Point from the context
menu. The point is removed and the segment recomputes. Any splice or virtual
part attached to a deleted segment point is also deleted.
If the point is a common endpoint of two segments, they merge into a single
segment. If the point is the common endpoint of three or more segments
(branches), no merging occurs. Instead, each segment has a unique work point
at its end, and can be manipulated independently.
Delete a work point from a single segment
1 With the harness assembly still active, right-click the point you just added.
2 Select Delete Point.
The point is removed and the segment recomputes.
Delete Harness Segments
Before you delete an entire segment, you can choose whether you want the
points from the deleted segment to remain on the wires that were routed
through it, thus keeping the shape of the segment after the segment is gone.
To keep the points, click the Wires/Cables tab on the Harness Settings dialog
box and click Inherit Segment Points on Segment Delete. Any virtual parts
attached to the segment are also deleted.
To delete a segment, select the segment from the browser or graphics window,
right-click and select Delete from the context menu. If the segment deleted
is a branch, the two remaining segments are not merged.
