Replacing Route Elements

You can change the composition of a branch route.

This task describes how to replace a support by a passing point. The scenario is identical for all route elements.

Note: When replacing a passing point with another route element, the passing point is removed from the route but the geometrical point is not deleted by default. To delete geometrical points while replacing passing points, use the Unused Point Deletion option.

Before you begin:
  • Activate an electrical branch geometry, and then select a branch in the work area.
  • From the Branch section of the action bar, click Immersive Branch Definition .

    The Auto Routing Mode is activated and yellow bullets appear on route elements.
