Preserving Connectivity
The system allows you to import connectivity from other MCAD designs and retain the connectivity for the objects, including functions, connectors and so on, as it was originally specified. This methodology automates the connectivity process and enables an accurate representation of the imported design.
Further functionality assists the optimal layout of the design when you place the imported connectivity objects onto the diagram. Shadow graphics display the proposed connectivity between options enabling you to easily view the originally defined routing and tweak this where required. This assisted placement is also available when unplacing objects.
Tip
User CTRL-DEL to remove (unplace) objects from the diagram into the Unplaced folder then use the process to optimally place them back on the diagram.
