Control segment diameter behavior

Segments can be configured as fixed diameter segments or as variable diameter segments. Fixed diameter segments, such as semirigid tubing that the wire bundle is routed through, do not change as wires and cables are routed, unrouted, or deleted. The diameter of variable segments automatically update as wires and cables are added or removed.

By default, segment diameters update automatically as wires are routed, unrouted, or deleted from the segment.

1. Double-click the harness assembly containing the segments to change.
2. In the browser or graphics window, right-click the segment to change, and then select Harness Properties from the context menu.
3. In the Segment Properties dialog box, select the needed diameter setting.
   • For a variable diameter, select the Calculate from Wires check box.
   • For a fixed diameter, clear the check box and enter a diameter value.

   The segments update accordingly.

When the Defer Update option is enabled, the segment diameters do not update until Update is selected on the the Quick Access toolbar.
