Route points can be inserted into both auto routes and sketched routes throughout the design cycle. The original route segment is split into two segments and a coupling is placed at that location. The two new segments must conform to the minimum segment length.
Tip: While editing, you can turn off a fitting (coupling only) that is associated to model geometry by using the Fitting option on the context menu. When a fitting is turned off, the route point locates a segment instead of a fitting and remains associated with the object in the assembly.

.The sketched route segment or auto route region involved is split into halves.
- In the graphics window, pause the cursor over the segment where you want to add the route point, and click to add the point.
When pausing over the invalid position that is smaller than the minimum segment length, a white cross symbol is attached to the cursor.
- Typically, use the General Dimension command to edit the position.
- To finish the insertion and continue editing, right-click in the graphics window and select Done.
