on the points selected, you can cycle through the solutions and select the
one that best fits your needs.
■ A parametric region is created using the 3D Orthogonal Route tool along
with the 3D sketch route tools, such as Point Snap, Rotation Snap, Parallel
With Edge, Perpendicular To Face, Bend, and General Dimension.
Auto regions are created where geometric constraints are not important.
Parametric regions are created to constrain the route to existing geometry or
dimensions. An auto region can be converted to a series of continuous sketched
segments at a later time.
Auto Route Cycling
As you select existing valid geometry, the system may calculate more than
one auto region solution based on the points selected and display the Select
Other tool. You can cycle through the solutions upon route creation or later
edits, and select the one that best fits your needs.
Click the arrows to cycle through available solutions. Click the middle green
button to make your selection. If there are multiple auto-route solutions in a
single route, the Select Other tool cycles through the solutions in each section
before advancing to the next section.
