2 With the wire selected, right-click and select View Path from the context
menu.
The wire stub (the exposed portions of the wires from the end segment
to the pin), and the path of the segment the wire passes through are
highlighted in the graphics window.
Unrouting
Using a combination of tools on the Unroute Wires dialog box, there are
several options for unrouting wires and cables. You can unroute:
■ Selected wires or cables from all segments (default)
■ Selected wires or cables from selected segments
■ All wires or cables from all segments
When wires or cables are unrouted from the specified segments, the wires
behave as if the segment was deleted, and return to their point-to-point
connection position.
All work points on wires or cable wires are deleted when the wires are unrouted
from all segments. The work points remain when a wire or cable wire is
unrouted from selected segments only.
When the last object is unrouted from a segment that is set to calculate size
from wires (including cable wires), the segment diameter does not change
from the diameter it had with that last object in it. The current segment is
not resized when all wires and cables are unrouted at once.
Rather than unroute an object entirely, it is often necessary to unroute it from
one or more individual segments. In the following exercises you unroute a
selected wire, and then unroute all remaining wires. You also unroute a cable.
Unroute Wires
Individual, or discrete, wires are unrouted independent of one another.
