Routing with Alternate Paths

You can create a route between a start point and an end point by selecting a solution of routing from a set of paths. The different solutions of routing are contained in a cuboid.

Before you begin: Create a rebar with the wire selection mode (picking point).
  1. Double-click a route.
    You switch to the CATIA Rebar Routing 3D Design app and a yellow symbol appears on each node of the route.
  2. Click the middle of a segment.
  3. On the context toolbar, select Orthogonal Routing.
  4. From the Orthogonal Routing panel, select the options of your choice.
    OptionDescription
    Solution Mode

    All: displays all of the available paths.

    Orthogonal: displays only orthogonal paths.

    Diagonal: displays only diagonal paths.

    Axis System Mode

    Global: uses the global axis system to orient the cuboid containing the different routing solutions.

    Start Point: uses the start point axis system to orient the cuboid containing the different routing solutions.

    End Point: uses the end-point axis system to orient the cuboid containing the different routing solutions.

    A set of alternate paths appears.

  5. Move the pointer over the different paths.
    The path you move the pointer over is highlighted.
  6. Click the path you want to apply between the two ends.

The route is created.
