Constraining the Routing

of Wires

You can use the Route by Attribute/Property constraint to specify whether wires with a particular property or attribute are routed along a bundle, through a junction box, or through an inline pair. You can apply this constraint to bundles, inline connectors, and harnesses on a topology diagram.

Note

You can bundle constraints into rules that you can set on objects. See Rules and Constraints to create rules.

Rules and constraints adhere to hierarchies. That means, if they are set on an object, child objects inherit them. For example, you can set constraints for a diagram so that they are inherited by all objects on the diagram (in this case, all slots and connectors). See Setting Constraints for an Entire Topology Diagram.

Procedure

Select the object to apply the constraint:Press the space bar and enter Properties.

Right-click and select Properties.

Double-click the object in the Diagram window.

The Edit Properties dialog box is displayed.

Click the Rules tab and click the Add Constraint button.The Constraint Selection dialog box is displayed.
Select Route by Attribute/Property and click OK. The constraint is added to the Edit Properties dialog box.
Edit the constraint as required and click OK.

Results

The constraint is applied when Capital Logic Designer designs are associated with the topology diagram and when updated data from the Capital Logic Designer design is synchronized with the topology design.
