Electrical Connectors

You can use electrical connector parts supplied with the software, or create your own parts. Follow these steps to make connectors.

  • Connection Points for Electrical Connectors
    A connection point is a point in an electrical connector where a cable begins or ends. Electrical connectors are required to have at least one connection point with the route type set to Electrical. This defines the part as an electrical connector and provides information about the route.
  • Creating Electrical Connectors
  • Connection Point PropertyManager
    The Connection Point PropertyManager appears when you create a connection point in a routing fitting (flange, elbow, electrical connector, etc.).
