Parameters

Type

Route type as defined in swConnectionPointType_e

SubType

Electrical route sub-type as defined in swElectricalConnectionPointType_e

ReverseDirection

True to flip the direction in which the route exits the fitting, false to not

Diameter

Nominal diameter (for pipe, tube, and electrical conduit fittings only)

StubLength

Default stub length to extend from the connector or fitting when inserted into routes

NOTE: For ribbon cables, leave stub length at 0 or set it to a value greater than half the width of the cable to assure that folds made near the connector can be created properly.

MinimumStraight

Minimum straight length (for tubes only)

EndLengthAdjustment

End length adjustment (for tubes only)

ConductorSplitLength

Conductor split length (for electrical only)

SchematicPinID

2D schematic pin ID (for ribbon cables only)

CableWidth

Width (for ribbon cables only)

CableThickness

Cable thickness (for ribbon cables only)

SwitchPin1Position

Switch Pin1 position (for ribbon cables only)

SpecificationFieldName

Specification field name (for pipes and tubes only)

SpecificationValue

Specification value (for pipes and tubes only)

Return Value

This method only works when the SolidWorks Routing add-in is loaded (click Tools > Add-Ins  and select SolidWorks Routing). This method currently supports part documents only.

Use IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 with:

• Mark = 1, which can be any one of the following entities to indicate the origin of a route:
  • Circular edge
  • Circular face
  • Face or plane plus a sketch point or vertex (select the plane or face where the routing segment exits the fitting, then select the sketch point that defines the end of the adjoining route segment)
• Mark = 2, which can be a reference axis or edge to indicate which entity to align the width of the cable (for ribbon cables only) 

See the SolidWorks Help for details about connection points and routing.
