Creating the Route Using Auto Route

Each route component has a CPoint. CPoints are the connection points from which you connect electrical route segments. When you drag routing components into the assembly, a small length of cable extends a stub from the CPoint.

Next, you use Auto Route to route cables between the stub ends of two components.

The Auto Route PropertyManager must be open to perform this procedure. If it is closed, click Auto Route (Routing Tools toolbar or the Electrical tab in the CommandManager).

1. Zoom in on one of the plugs in the assembly and select the stub at the end of its CPoint.

   

   The Auto Route PropertyManager displays the selected point in Current Selection.

2. Zoom to the other plug and select its end stub.

   

   The route connecting the two points appears.
