the splice is added to the wire length to determine its adjusted length value.
This ensures that the proper wire length is added to each wire connecting to
the splice.
To change the embedded length for a splice, create a splice in the Cable and
Harness library, and then enter the needed embedded length value. You cannot
change the embedded length on the Default Library Splice.
Search for “length, control in splices” in the Help index for more information
and examples on setting embedded length and negative length conditions.
Delete Splices
If you delete a splice with two wires attached, the wires heal. If there are three
or more wires, redundant wires are deleted along with their associated
properties. The logical connection of the signal carried by the wires is
maintained.
If you delete a splice from a segment, the segment heals and all routed wires
remain routed. If a segment or wire that has a splice on it is deleted, the splice
remains. Any custom virtual parts assigned to the splice are also deleted.
