The wire is routed into the main segment and out the branch. The
segment diameter and wire length are calculated automatically.

Defining Automatic Routes
You can route all unrouted wires and cable automatically, or you can route
selected wires and cables. When automatically routing, the system checks for
the harness segment ends closest to each end of the object being routed. When
the segment ends are identified, the system examines all segments found, and
then looks for the shortest path. After finding the shortest path, the objects
are routed.
If the harness segment endpoints found are within 0.005 meters of one
another, they are considered to be the same distance. If there is no connection
between any of the identified start and end segment points, such as when the
endpoints identified are from different harness segments, or when the same
segment point is identified for both the start and endpoints, the route fails.
In this case, you can route the objects using manual methods.
In this exercise, you route any remaining unrouted wires and cable wires into
the segments.
