- In the work area, select a first branch.
-
Select a second branch.
The two branches are merged into a single branch. The properties of the first selected
branch are applied to the second branch. However, the properties of each segment are kept in
the merged branch.
| When the Retain shared route point option
is selected |
When the Retain shared route point option
is not selected |
- The common passing point is kept in the branch route. The design of the branch
is updated accordingly.
- A branch point is created. Its reference point is the common passing point. It
is positioned at a distance of 0 millimeter from the common passing point.
|
- The common passing point is not kept in the branch route. The design of the
branch route is updated accordingly.
- A branch point is created. Its reference point is the first end of the merged
branch. It is positioned with a ratio corresponding to the relation between the
length of the first branch and the total length of the two merged
branches.

Notes:
- After a merge, branches belonging to another product but sharing the same passing
point as the merged branches are reconnected to the created branch point. They must be
loaded to be reconnected.
- You can merge two branches with multiprofile segments but the final shape is not
guaranteed to be the same as the original one. The computation of multiprofile segments
can reverse some rotation angles on profiles.
- If the two branches are in the same electrical geometry but in different
electrical branch geometry, the second selected branch will be internally cut and pasted
into the first branch's electrical branch geometry before merging.
