Add Segment Branches
Segment branches are made by starting or ending a new segment on an existing
segment. Once completed, there are three segments sharing a common
endpoint. The original segment is broken into two separate segments. No
tangent constraint is formed between the branch and the two original
segments.
As wires and cables are routed, each of the three segments behave as separate
entities and can assume different diameters.
Add a segment branch
1 In the browser, double-click Harness Assembly1.
2 On the ribbon, click Cable and Harness tab ➤ Create panel ➤ Create
Segment.
3 Pause the cursor over the harness segment to branch, and then click the
segment work point shown as the branch start point.
