Inserting Conductors

You can specify conductor properties interactively and define from- to- information.

Before you begin: Create an electrical physical system.

  1. Select an electrical physical system.
  2. From the Conductor section of the action bar, click Conductor .

    The Conductor Creation dialog box appears in which you can specify the conductor properties.

  3. Optional: Select the devices From and To which conductors will run either in the 3D area or in the tree.
    Tip: Right-click in the From and To boxes and select Reset to change the device.

    When you edit an existing conductor, if the Unset the conductor route when the conductor extremities are modified option is selected, the route of the conductor is completely cleared. For more information, see Conductor Routing.

  4. Optional: Click More >> to specify device cavities at from- and to- ends.
    The dialog box expands in which the available cavities for from- and to- ends are listed. Select the cavity of interest. You can also select cavities directly in the tree. The Show Unused Only option is available.
  5. Click Create One or Create Several depending on whether you want to create one or more than one conductor with the same specifications.
    • If you click Create One, only one conductor is created. The dialog box does not close, allowing you to change the identifier and create more conductors.
    • If you click Create Several, a dialog box appears asking how many conductors you want to create. Enter the number of conductors to create and click OK.
  6. Click Close when done.
    The conductor specifications are inserted into the technological package associated with the electrical physical system.
