Connecting Segments Distantly

You can connect segments electrically using a distant connection. Connecting segments distantly allows you to keep the connectivity between your electrical objects without modifying the route of your branches.

This task describes how to create a distant connection between a segment and a connection point. The scenario is identical for the creation of a distant connection between two segments.

Before you begin: Clear the Electrical link driven by geometry option in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Electrical and Electronic Systems > Electrical 3D Design > Branch section.

Connecting Segments Geometrically
  1. From the Branch section of the action bar, click Connect Segments .
  2. Hover over the ends of a segment to display its extremities, and then click the segment to select an extremity.
  3. Hover over a device to display its connection points.
  4. Click a label to select a connection point.

    Tip: If you click the device, the closest connection point is selected.

    The segment extremity is distantly connected to the connection point. The shape of the branch is not impacted.

  5. From the standard area of the action bar, click Link Review to check the connectivity of your network,
