Defining a Bundle

Region

You can define a bundle region on a bundle in order to divide the bundle into separate regions with different rules or properties.

Procedure

Press Space Bar and enter Bundle Region.
The mouse cursor displays the bundle region symbol. Click the bundle at the point where you want to start the region. If you are at a point where you cannot start a region, the symbol has a line crossing it . If you are at a point where you can start a region, there is no line crossing the bundle symbol . You cannot intersect an exiting bundle region.If you move the cursor over an end point (bundle start node or bundle end node) of a bundle, you can right-click and choose the New Node menu option to create a region node at the same position as the bundle start node or bundle end node. If you do not create a region node at the bundle node, the region shares the node with the bundle. In this case: Moving the node changes both the region length and the bundle length.

Sliding the region along the bundle changes the bundle length.

If you do create a region node at the bundle node, there are two nodes located there. In this case: Moving the region node within the bundle changes the region length but not the bundle length.

Sliding the region along the bundle moves the region without changing the region length or bundle length.

If you create a bundle region that does not reach the end point of a bundle, region nodes are created automatically at each end of it. Similarly, you can share a region node with another region node. Moving a shared node changes the lengths of both regions.

A red square displays at the point you have selected to indicate the region start node location. Click the point where you want to end the region. You cannot define a bundle region across multiple bundles.
The red square disappears and the system displays the bundle region according to the project style preferences that you have set in Capital Project Manager. At each end of the bundle region, there is a bundle region node. These nodes are not visible unless the bundle region is selected. If the bundle region node is an adjacent node of two regions (shared region node), the node is visible.In the Design Browser (Design tab), the region displays under the harness on which it is located.
