- Sketch the path between components using any combination of the following methods:
- Use Auto Route to:
- Display guidelines that show the connections that need to be bundled together, manipulate those guidelines, and convert them into routes.
- Generate splines.
- Sketch lines, splines, and fillets using 3D Sketch tools.
- Use Cable Clips or other routing hardware to generate splines.
- To assign electrical attributes to the route segments, click Edit Wires
(Electrical toolbar) or .
The Edit Wires PropertyManager appears, and displays the cable/wire data and connection data from the from-to list. You do not need to edit the data; however, you must perform the Edit Wires command for the data to become associated with the route.
- Click
.
- Close the 3D sketch.
The following appear in the FeatureManager design tree of the route subassembly:
- Components folder
containing the connector and clip parts you placed in the route.
- Route Parts folder containing the cable that was created as a virtual component when you exited the sketch.
- Route
feature containing the 3D sketch that defines the path of the cable. The 3D sketch is related parametrically to the components in the route sub-assembly. If you move a component, the cable updates automatically.
Click
Edit Route 
(Electrical toolbar) to edit an existing electrical route.
If you make changes to the from-to list after you exit the route, a warning appears the next time you edit the route. Click
Re-Import From/To
