Branch Section: Primary Area

The primary area of the Branch section provides commands for creating create new electrical objects.

This page discusses:

Electrical Geometry
Creates one or more electrical geometries.
See Flyout for Managing Electrical Geometries
Route Multiple Elements
Routes several branches through a set of supports or retainers.
See Routing Multiple Branches with Multiple Elements Automatically.
Arrange Segments
Arranges the position of segments inside the support.
See Flyout for Managing Segments Arrangement
Connect Segments
Connects a segment to a device or another segment.
See Flyout for Managing Segments Connection
Segments Centercurve
Recomputes the segments' centercurve.
See Flyout for Recomputating Segments
Merge
Merges two coincident branches.
See Flyout for Managing Split and Merge
Network Manipulation Assistant
Lets you translate branches and allows to reconnect them after the manipulation.
See Flyout for Managing Manipulation and Duplication of your network
Floating Point
Creates a floating point.
See Routing Branches on a Floating Point.
Local Slack
Adds or removes slack between two passing points.
See Managing Local Slack.
Protective Covering Orientation
Orients one or several protective coverings according to a viewing direction.
See Using the Protective Covering Orientation.
Delete Special
Deletes a branch.
See Deleting Branches.

Flyout for Managing Electrical Geometries

Flyout for Managing Segments Arrangement

Arrange Segments
Modifies the arrangement of segments inside a support.
See Arranging Segments in Supports Manually.
Arrange Segments at Junction
Creates or modifies the arrangement of segments at a branch junction.
See Arranging Segments at Junction.
Copy Arrangement
Propagates a segments arrangement from one support to another support.
  1. Click the command.
  2. Select a source support, and then select a target support.
  3. Click in the work area to validate.
See Copying Arrangement between Supports.
Auto Arrange Segments
Positions automatically the segments inside a support using a customized logic.
See Arranging Segments in Supports Automatically.
Arrange Junction Assistant
Facilitates the arrangement of branches at a branch junction.
See Arranging Branches Manually.

Flyout for Managing Segments Connection

Connect Segments
Creates an electrical connection between a segment and a device, or between two segments.
See Connecting Segments Geometrically.
Disconnect Segments
Deletes the electrical connection between a segment and a device, or between two devices.
See Disconnecting Segments.

Flyout for Recomputating Segments

Segments Centercurve
Updates the segments centercurve according to the Segment Computation algorithm selected in your preferences.
See Updating an Existing Electrical Branch Geometry.
Segments Diameter
Updates the segments diameter according to the properties of the conductors routed inside the segments.
See Updating the Segments Diameter.

Flyout for Managing Split and Merge

Merge Branches
Merges two branches sharing a common passing point or a common support into one branch.
See Merging Branches.
Split Branch
Splits a branch into two branches at a branch point.
See Splitting Branches.

Flyout for Managing Manipulation and Duplication of your network

Network Manipulation Assistant
Lets you modify the position of your network and provides the tools to reconnect your branches after the manipulations.
See Manipulating your Network.
Network Duplication Assistant
Lets you copy an existing network to position it at another location in your design.
See Duplicating your Network.
