This task show
you how to fix (or re-join) routables in which segments have become
separated. In the illustration below, the dotted line (the broken
routable indicator) shows that a run has become separated at that point.
You can re-join the run in one of several ways, depending on the nature of the break and your requirements. The methods are as follows: |
|
 |
1. | Bring up the Definition dialog box for the run, then place the mouse pointer over the broken routable indicator and click the right mouse button. This will display a pop-up menu. Click Create Segment. |
| 2. | Bring up the Definition dialog box, then drag one of the segment handles to re-join the run. | |
| 3. | Bring up the Definition
dialog box. An arrow will display at each end of the broken routable
indicator. Drag one of the arrows (depending on circumstances) to
re-join the run. In the illustration below, one segment of the run has been
moved to connect to the portion of the run still connected to the pump.
|
|
| 4. | In certain cases you will
see the Auto Route option beneath the Create Segment option in the pop-up
menu (See Step 1). This happens when a segment connecting two parallel
routables (which are on different X-Y planes) is broken.

button. Options for re-joining the run will be shown as a dotted line.
