Validating Cable Routes

After routing your cables, you can define a validation status on the cable routes. Validating a route allows to store some attributes in the Cable Route object.

Attributes that can be stored are:

  • The route status of the cable
  • The length of the cable
  • The visual representation of the cable route

Important: You cannot revalidate an already validated route using the Validate command. To be able to revalidate a route, select the Enable revalidation of impacted routes option available in the Routing Assistant preferences.

  1. From the Cable section of the action bar, click Routing Assistant .
  2. In the tree, select an electrical physical system.
  3. In the panel, select the Routing mode: .
  4. Select one or several Cable Route objects, and then select one of the following validation commands:

    Setting the "In revision" status on a cable route can be used after an impact analysis or after an attributes update. It indicates that the current route of the cable needs to be reviewed.

    Note: Modifying a validated cable route automatically sets the cable route in "In revision" status.

    Setting the "Fully validated" status on a cable route allows to store the route and length information of the cable route and indicates the maturity of the cable route.
