Both Ends of the Route are Connected and Not Displayed in the Diagram View

You can route an electrical route line where both ends are connected. The Route in View command can route the electrical route line in the following case.

The two components are placed in the diagram view and are not connected
If the two components connected to both ends of the route are placed in the diagram view, the connection points connecting the route will be highlighted.

Note: If one of the components has no connection point in the diagram view, the center of the component will be highlighted. You can click anywhere on the symbol to create the connection point.
In that case, you can:
  • select both connection points to connect both components

  • select only one connection point and end the route with a sheet connector.

Note: The route cannot end in space in this case.
Two components are placed in the diagram view and one component is connected
If one component is connected to a route finishing as a sheet connector, the Route in View command will connect automatically the route to the connection point of the second component. The other end of the route will be a sheet connector as well.

Note: The route cannot end in space in this case.
Only one symbol is placed in the diagram view
If only one symbol is placed in the diagram view, the Route in View command will connect automatically the first end of the route to the component. The other end of the route will be a sheet connector.

Note: The route cannot end in space in this case.

Only One End of the Route is Connected

The component is placed in the diagram view
If the connected component is placed in the diagram view, the Route in View command will connect automatically the first end of the route to the component. Regarding the other end of the route, you can:
  • select the component you want to connect the route with
  • end the route with a sheet connector
  • end the route in space.
The component is not placed in view
When the connected component is not placed in view, you must select another component in the diagram view and end the route in space or end it with a sheet connector.
The component is placed in view and connected to a sheet connector
If the component is connected to a route ending as a sheet connector, you must select the second component and end the route as a sheet connector as well.

The Route is not Connected and not Displayed in the Diagram View

When the route is not connected, you need to select the connection points of both components in the diagram view to connect the route.
