Routing Shield Connections as Graphical Links

You can route a shield connection by creating a graphical link between the following elements:

  • Two shields symbols
  • A shield symbol and an over shield symbol
  • Two over shield symbols

The following scenario describes the routing of a shield connection between two shields symbols. The steps remain the same if you want to route a shield connection between two over shield symbols or between a shield symbol and an over shield symbol.

Before you begin: The content of two cables (shielded or twisted shielded) must be routed with their extremities representations.
  1. Activate a diagram view containing components connected by shielded cables.

  2. Select one of the shield symbol and click Route Shielding Connection .
  3. Select the second shield symbol.
    A connection point is created on each shield symbol. A graphical link is created between these connection points.
