Dialog Box

To access: Click the Show Fanout button on the top right of a Signal Map dialog box.

Use this dialog box to create a fanout diagram for the specialized connectors s in a generalized connector. The fanout diagram allows you to reorder the connectors, add new bundle nodes and define the length of the bundles.

Objects

Field	Description
Node tree	Displays a node tree for the Specialized Connectors of the Generalized Connector. The node tree displays as a graphic in the Fanout diagram. By default, the specialized connectors are listed under the top node. Each node () represents a bundle section. You can add a new bundle section to the end of an existing one by right-clicking on it and choosing New Node. The new bundle section node is added below the existing node in the Node tree. In the Fanout diagram, the new bundle section is added: Leading straight on from the selected bundle section if no bundle section is already attached Branching off from the end of the selected bundle section if another bundle section is already attached If a bundle section node has no other bundle node or specialized connector attached at the end, you can delete it by right-clicking on it and choosing Remove Node. To move a specialized connector from one bundle segment to another, drag and drop the connector. To specify the length of a bundle segment, select its node () and enter a Length in the standard unit of measurement used by your company.
Length	Specifies the length of the bundle segment node () selected in the Node tree. The length is specified in your company’s standard unit of measurement. Zero (0) is a valid length. Mandatory.
Fanout diagram	Displays a graphical representation of the Node tree specified for the Specialized Connectors of the Generalized Connector. The specified Length of a bundle node displays next to it. Select a bundle segment node () or specialized connector in the Node tree to highlight it in the fanout diagram.

Usage Notes

If you are editing an inline pair, a Node tree and Fanout diagram display for each inline half.

You can leave this dialog box open while editing the Signal Map Dialog Box for Inline or Signal Map Dialog Box for Slot. If a connector mating is selected in the Connector Mating table, the connectors are highlighted in the Node tree and Fanout diagram.
