When routing or unrouting you can select the object to use before opening
the dialog box, or you can select the objects using the dialog box tools.
Define Manual Routes
Use the Route tool to route individual wires or cables manually into a single
segment. The segments can be discontinuous and can be used for incremental
routing to create networks with gaps.
The workflow for manually routing cables and wires is the same. The difference
is that when you select a wire, it is routed independently of all other wires.
When you select a single cable wire, all cable wires associated with the same
cable are routed and unrouted together.
