You cannot redefine the splice to a location off of the wire, because the wires
connected to the splice move with the splice. You can only delete the splice.
You can also redefine a splice on a segment:
■ To a location off of the segment.
■ Onto another segment.
■ At another location along the same segment.
If the new location is on a different wire or segment:
■ The new wire or segment is split, and each object gets a unique name. For
example, Segment1 becomes Segment1 and Segment1_1.
■ If the initial location was on a segment, the existing segment is healed and
any wires attached to the splice are unrouted.
■ If the initial location was on a wire, the wires move with the splice to the
new location.
■ Any work points on the spliced wires are retained.
Redefine a splice along the wire or to an arbitrary location
1 Right-click the splice, and then select Redefine Splice on the context
menu.
2 Click a new location along the same wire.
3 Right-click the wire again, and then select a new location in the enclosure.
Notice how the wires move with the splice.
