Routing Existing Conductors

into a Highway

You can route one or more existing conductors into a highway.

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

Prerequisites

The conductors must exist.
The highway must exist. See Adding a Highway.

Video

This video demonstrates how to route existing conductors into a highway:

Procedure

In the Diagram window, select the conductors (or conductor segments) and the highway into which you want to route them:

Press the space bar and enter Route into Highway.
Right-click a selected item and select Route into Highway.

Results

The conductors are routed into the highway using the shortest routes possible.
The conductors are listed under the highway in the Design Browser.
If required, the system creates a new design wide instance or shared instance of a conductor.
