Manually Defining Connectivity Data
If you create an electrical route using Start
by Drag/Drop
, you can define connectivity data
in the Edit
Wires PropertyManager without specifying paths. Then you can
use Guidelines in the Auto
Route PropertyManager to manipulate the paths.
To define connectivity data:
Drag the connectors into the route sub-assembly.

In the Edit Wires
PropertyManager, click Add Wire
and specify wires and cables.
In Wire From-To
List, select the first wire.
In From-To Parameters:
Under From,
select a connector in the graphics area for Component
Ref
. Optionally, select or type a pin reference.
Under To,
select a connector in the graphics area for Component
Ref
. Optionally, select or type a pin reference.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other wires.
Click
.
The paths remain undefined, but the connectivity data is saved. Now
when you use Auto Route
, you can use Guidelines
to manipulate the paths.
