Adding Branches at On-the-Fly Branch Points

You can route branches by starting or ending a new branch on an existing branch. When you do so, a branch point is created on-the-fly.

Before you begin:
  • Create at least one branch.
  • The Route Definition dialog box is still open.

  1. Select the start point for your new branch.
  2. Move the pointer over an existing branch.
    A blue square visualizes the location of the branch point.



  3. Move the pointer along the branch and click to end the new branch and create the branch point.
    A new branch is created and a branch point added. The original branch is split into two segments.



    Notes:

    • No tangent constraint is created between the new branch and the two segments of the original branch.
    • A branch point is not an ordinary route point. This means that if you modify the center curve, the branch point will follow the curve.
