Interfacing a Conductor

With a Highway

You can interface (connect) a conductor with a highway.

When doing this, you create Highway / Conductor Interfaces, and conductors are used as Design-Wide Objects (that is, they are non‑shared but have multiple instances).

Prerequisites

• The highway must exist. See Adding a Highway.

Procedure

1. Create the first interface (entrance/exit point) between the conductor and the highway.To do this, use the normal functionality for adding the relevant type of conductor to initiate the add action (for example, press the space bar and enter Add Wire). While adding the conductor place one end on the highway; an instance of the conductor is created on the diagram and is listed under the highway and under Conductors in the Design Browser.

2. If required, create a second interface (entrance / exit point) between the conductor and the highway.To do this, double-click the conductor in the Design Browser window and add the second instance to the diagram, placing one end at the appropriate point on the highway. Note You can also move or stretch the end of a conductor to a point on the highway; this will create an interface between them.

Results

• The conductor is listed under the highway in the Design Browser window.
