Allows you to insert components in a cableway route along a straight feature, end feature, nozzle, or component port. You can insert components after routing or while routing.

Properties

Opens the Insert Component Settings dialog.

Select Straight or End Feature

Prompts you to select a straight feature, end feature, nozzle, or a component port.

Part

Allows you to select a part from the catalog.

Enter Insertion Point

Positions the component that you are placing. You can use the Tools > PinPoint and Tools > Point Along commands to define the precise location of the component.

Finish

Ends the placement of the component feature. Click this button after you are satisfied with the editing that you have completed and the positioning of the component.

Run

Specifies the name of the run in which the component is placed.

<New Cableway> displays the New Cableway dialog. Use this option to create a new cableway run.

<Select Graphically> allows you to select an existing run in a graphic view, or the Workspace Explorer.

<Load More Runs> loads all the runs that belong to the parent system. This option is not available after you load all the runs, or if the parent system contains less than 200 runs.

More displays the Select Cableway dialog. Use this option to select a cableway that is associated with a different electrical system.

Name

Displays the name of the component that you are inserting. This control becomes available when you choose a part.

The following controls become available after you click to position the component.

Flip

Select this option to change the component port that is connected to the selected port.

This option is not available while inserting a component in free space. Use Axis of rotation, Rotate SP3D_BTN_Rotate, and Angle to flip the component in free space.

Reference position

Slides the component that you are inserting so that its origin or selected port is positioned at the insertion point. If the selected reference position does not lie along the axis of the leg, then the software projects the position so that it intersects the axis and the component slides so that the projected point is located at the insertion point.

Axis of rotation

Specifies the axis of rotation for the component. This option is only available while inserting a component in free space. The default option is the X-axis in plant mode, and E-axis in ship mode.

SP3D_BTN_Rotate Rotate

Select to rotate the component about the cableway or the axis of rotation interactively.

Angle

Type an angle at which you want the component rotated about the cableway or axis.
