Managing Branch

Placing a Branch in View

When a branch connects two equipments which are already placed in the diagram view, you can place this branch in the diagram view.

You can place in view a net branch between the following objects:

  • Two pins
  • A pin and a net route
  • A branch symbol and a pin
  • Two branch symbols

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.

Before you begin: Open a diagram view containing:
  • Two equipments connected by a net
  • A third equipment that is not connected in the diagram view
  1. Select the first pin.

    A context toolbar appears. It contains commands to create an elbow or a straight route line.
  2. 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.

  3. Select the second pin.

    The branch is placed in the diagram view.
