Managing Branch

Adding Branch

A net branch is created when a new connection is added to a net by selecting a branch of this net.

In Data Setup, you can assign a branch representation to the Branch Point Customization for Nets and Net Groups resource.

Important: The branch component must have a connection point that used to connect the net.

In this scenario, a net connection between a non connected pin and a route is created.

Before you begin: Open an existing diagram view containing:

Two equipments connected by a net. The second equipment must have a free pin.
A component which is not connected

Select the unconnected pin.

A context toolbar appears, containing commands to create an elbow or a straight route line.
Select one of the three commands according to the type of route to be created:
- Single-Step Line Route.
- Straight-Line Route.
- Angled Line Route.
Click the net at the convenient place to create the second end of the branch.

In the diagram view:

A new net branch is created between the net representation and the selected pin.
A branch point symbol is created on the existing route.
The route is split.

In the tree, a port is created under the Ports node of the net.
