Duplicating your Network

You can copy your network and move it to another position using the geometrical context of your product.

Note: The duplicated network can only be translated, and not rotated.

  1. In the work area, select one of the following:
    • A product. The branches from every electrical branch geometry within the product are selected.
    • An electrical branch geometry. All the branches within the electrical branch geometry are selected.
    • A branch.
    The Robot is snapped to the network. In the 3D area, your selection is highlighted and an icon is displayed on impacted route elements: .
    Tip: To snap the Robot to another position, click a branch section, a route point, or a branch point.

    In the Network Duplication Assistant panel, your selection is listed in a table. The electrical branch geometry in which your selection will be copied appears under the Target column.

  2. Optional: Modify your selection:
    • To add elements, select a product, an electrical branch geometry, or a branch.
    • To remove elements, click Remove .
    • To modify the electrical branch geometry set as target, click Edit Target , and then select another electrical branch geometry in the work area.
      Tip: To restore the default target, click Reset Target .
  3. Optional: Modify the orientation of the Robot.
  4. Position the selected network using a geometrical element:
    1. Select the preferred direction of the Robot.
    2. In the 3D area, select a geometrical element.
      A preview displays the intersection between the selected network and the element:
    3. Click the geometrical element to place the network at the intersection point, and then use the offset editor to adjust precisely the position of the network.

    Tip: You can also move the Robot along one of its axis to reposition the network.

  5. Click Duplicate and close the panel.
    The selected branches are duplicated. In the tree, duplicated branches appear under the electrical branch geometry set as target.
