Specify Segment Rules

The final step for creating a style is specifying the rules for segments created with auto-routing. These rules include the minimum and maximum length, increment, and default bend radius.

  1. Select the Rules tab.
  2. In the Minimum field, enter 1 in.
  3. In the Maximum field, enter 200 in.
  4. In the Increment field, enter 0.5 in.
  5. In the Default Radius field, enter 2 in.
  6. Click Save. The Medium Copper Tubing style is added to the styles browser, nested in the new category. The new category is nested under the originally active existing category Tubing with Bends.
  7. Select the General tab. The background color of the Components table changes, and the various options are not available to indicate that the style is no longer in edit mode.
  8. Click Close to close the dialog box.
    Note: The new style is not saved in the assembly (the local template) until you save the assembly.
  9. Click Save to save the assembly.
