Improvements for Ribbon Cable Routes

Enhancements to ribbon cables make it easier for you to create route paths. All Sketch Tools are available when you create and edit ribbon cable routes, like other routing functionality.

To use the Sketch Tools, open the ribbon cable assembly and right-click in the graphics area. You can add or delete segments, and add or delete dimensions.

Also, handles are added to the route path so that you can control the twist and bend on the ribbon cables.

Previously, Sketch Tools were not enabled when you modified ribbon cable routes, and only limited use of these tools was available with Auto Route.
