Wiring > Wire Editing in Capital Systems Integrator

Editing Wire Paths

When you synthesize wiring, Capital Systems Integrator automatically uses the shortest route that a wire can take. However, you may want a wire to take a different, longer route. After you have synthesized wiring, the Edit Wire Path dialog box enables you to reroute a wire so that it passes through a particular through node.

When you connect bundles together in such a way that they form a loop, a through node is added automatically to the last bundle that you create in the loop. You can also create through nodes manually. See Creating a Through Node on a Bundle for more information.

Procedure

Right-click on the wire in the Design Browser (Design tab) and choose Edit Wire Path. Alternatively, click the wire, press Space Bar and enter Set Path.
In the diagram window, click on a through node through which you want the wire to pass instead of its current route. When the mouse cursor is over a valid through node, a bundle symbol displays . Otherwise, a circle with a diagonal line displays .
The new route of the wire displays in red. To accept this new route, right-click the through node in the diagram window or on the wire in the Design Browser (Design tab) and choose Commit from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, choose Cancel from the pop-up menu to cancel the reroute.
