About Route Status Visualization in the Tree

When the Based on Route Status option is selected, the conductors are allocated to three different tree nodes named after the route status categories.

These categories are:

• Specs Fully Routed : aggregates the conductors which are fully routed, from one end of a device to another end.
• Specs Partially Routed : aggregates the conductors which are not completely routed, failing to maintain connectivity from one end to another end.
• Specs Not Routed : aggregates the conductors which are not routed.

The conductors allocation to one of the three route status categories depends on the routing process.

When using the Automatic Routing command, conductors are allocated to the Specs Fully Routed node.

When using the Manual Routing command, conductors are allocated to a category only when the command is complete, that is segments selected and selection validated.

When you edit a conductor route shared by several conductors, all the conductors sharing the edited route are allocated to the same category.

By default, conductors which are imported or created from scratch are allocated to the Specs Not Routed category.

Because a spare cable has no defined ends, it belongs by default to the Specs Partially Routed category.

If you edit the route of a live conductor from which a spare cable is generated, the spare cable is allocated to the same category as the live conductor.

For more information, see Creating Spare Conductors.

Conductors groups containing fully routed conductors belong to the Specs Fully Routed category.

Conductor groups containing fully, partially, and not routed conductors belong to the Specs Partially Routed category.

Conductor groups without any conductors or containing only conductors not routed belong to the Specs Not Routed category.

When you populate a fully routed conductor group with a new conductor group or a new conductor, the populated conductor group is allocated to the Specs Partially Routed category.

For more information, see Inserting Conductor Groups.

Important: When you edit the electrical branch geometry (Add or remove branch points, split or merge branches, etc.), the route status of the impacted conductors is not automatically updated in the tree. You must collapse and then expand the electrical physical system node to update the tree.
