Clips and virtual clips make it much easier to create routes for tubing and electrical designs.
The easiest way to model an electrical harness is to use clips.
In an electrical design, wires and cables usually need to be fastened to provide support and to prevent them from moving around. First, positioning clips and then, passing wires through clips, by using the Route/Edit through Clip command or the AutoRoute tool, provides an easy mechanism for creating and editing a route.
You can model the clips with multiple configurations. As you add more wires to the harness, the bundle diameter increases. If the diameter becomes too large for the clip, the clip is resized.
If the design does not include clips or you don’t have models of clips, you can use virtual clips to model the route. Virtual clips have no geometry and are excluded from the bills of materials.
You can route with clips by using the Route/Edit through Clip command or the AutoRoute too.
Clip parts can optionally contain two routing points (RPoints).
