Options Tab Usage Notes

Learn how settings on the Options tab of the Generate Wiring Diagram dialog box affect the generated wiring diagrams through practical examples.

The following examples are available:

• Wiring Diagram with and without Distribute Splices Selected

• Wiring Diagram with and without Create Ported Wires where Functional Nets are Ported Selected

• Wiring Diagrams with different Minimum Wire Spacing settingsWiring Diagrams with different Minimum Wire Spacing settings

Wiring Diagram with and without Distribute Splices Selected

You have two functional diagrams in Capital Logic Designer as follows:

They are associated with the following Capital Systems Integrator design:

If you clear the Distribute Splices option, the generated wiring diagrams are as follows:

If you do check the Distribute Splices option, the generated wiring diagrams are as follows:

Wiring Diagram with and without Create Ported Wires where Functional Nets are

			Ported Selected

These are the ported nets in the associated functional diagrams:

With Create Ported Wires where Functional Nets are Ported selected, the wires in the generated diagram are ported:

Without Create Ported Wires where Functional Nets are Ported selected, the wires in the generated diagram are not ported but are closed by a splice:

Wiring Diagrams with different Minimum Wire Spacing settings

The following shows a diagram with a Minimum Wire Spacing of 3 and a diagram with a Minimum Wire Spacing of 1.

Entering values affects the diagram in these ways:

• The size of devices or inline connectors may increase. This could cause the overlapping of devices or inline connectors with other logical devices. See Case 1 in the diagram below.

• Routing may not be optimal at bundle junctions if there is not enough space to route the wires. See Case 2 in the diagram below.
