Adding a Multiple-entry

Connector

You can place a connector at which two or more bundles terminate, specifying routing information to accurately calculate wiring lengths in complex connectors such as fuse boxes.

Procedure

Place a connector onto the harness design following the steps for Adding a Connector with an Associated Library Part. On the Routes tab of the Add Connector Dialog Box, specify the Route for the node at which the connector is placed.
Either:Place a new bundle following the steps for Adding a Static Bundle or Adding a Dynamic Bundle, moving the cursor towards the placed connector, but refer to Step 3 before confirming the placement of the terminating node.

Select the terminating node of an existing bundle and drag it towards the placed connector.

As the cursor approaches the connector, a bounding box is displayed, anchored at the structure node at which the connector is placed, and the cursor will snap to a position within it.
Move the cursor to the required position:For a new bundle, double-click to confirm the placement of the terminating node, entering the bundle Length if the bundle is static.

For an existing bundle, release the dragged node.

The Connector Routes Dialog Box is displayed, to specify the route by which the newly placed bundle enters the connector.
