5 Select the First Segment button, select the segment (3) in the graphics
window as shown previously, and then click OK.
Both cable wires are routed at once, and the cable lengths and bundle
diameters are updated automatically.
NOTE All cable wires are routed or unrouted together and must take the
same path (routed through the same segments) in the harness assembly.
6 Click Cancel.
Defining Semi-automatic Routes
When creating a semi-automatic route, use the Route tool to select one or
more wires or cables, and the first and last segment within the desired network.
The system looks for the shortest continuous path connecting the two
segments.
If more than one path exists between the two segments selected, a dialog box
is displayed for you to cycle through the possibilities, from shortest to longest.
The corresponding paths are highlighted in the graphics window.
Route Wires
In this exercise, you select a wire and route it manually.
Route a wire into multiple segments
1 Double-click Harness Assembly1 if it is not already active.
