Modifying path segments

You can modify path segments by:

Moving path segments

You can use the Move Segment command to move a path segment along the plane to which it is attached. With the command, you simply click the segment you want to move, drag it to a new position, then release the mouse button. This command maintains any existing relationships on the path segment and any of the adjacent tube segments.

Suppose you place a dimension on a segment and later decide you want to change the dimension value. All you have to do is click the dimension you want to change, and type the new value in the Dimension Value on the XpresRoute command bar.

Splitting path segments

You can use the Split Segment command to split a path segment into two separate segments. With the command, you click the segment at the point you want to split.

Relationships and split segments

When you use the Split Segment command, the relationships on the split segment are maintained on the new segment. In addition, a connect relationship is applied to the split point of the new segments. The following cases describe how the Split Segment command works with relationships.

Creating curve segments

You can use the Curve Segment command to create a 3D curve based on a set of endpoint-connected path segments. The curve is always tangent to the first and last segments in the select set and it passes through the first and last points of the path. There is an option on the Curve Segment command bar that allows you to define the points for the curve.  You can specify that the curve pass through the

Note:

You can use the Hide Input Path and Show Input Path commands on the shortcut menu to control the display on the path used to create the curve segment.
