To Connect Features

You can connect segments, ducts, and conductors using drag and drop in the Electric Explorer. This greatly simplifies the process of building your networks. The following procedure describes the process using the example of ducts and segment. The same process applies to conductors, ducts, and segments.

To connect features using drag and drop

  1. In the Duct container, select a duct.
  2. In the Segment container, select a segment.
  3. Drag the selected duct and drop it on the selected segment.
    Note:

    If you want a duct to span more than one segment, you must preselect them as described. Otherwise, you can simply drag and drop the duct on the segment.

    The duct is placed in the segment at an unassigned (not exactly located) position. If the Segment has no unassigned snap points, a message is displayed. Similarly, you can position conductors in ducts and segments using the same process. For more information on assigned and unassigned snap points, see Electric Cross Section Snap Points.
