To Modify the Size of a Cable Tray or Conduit Run

Use this procedure to change the size of a cable tray or conduit run. You can change one segment at a time or you can resize the entire run. When changing a single segment, you need to add a transition in order to adjust it to the rest of the run.

  1. Select the segment you want to modify.
  2. Specify dimensions as follows:
    • For cable tray, click Cable Tray tab Modify panel Modify Cable Tray , and specify values for width and height.
    • For conduit, on the Properties palette, under Dimensions, for Nominal size, select from the list or enter a value.
      Tip: If the size is not in the conduit routing preferences, you are prompted to make a part substitution.
  3. In the Maintain Connection dialog box, specify a method for maintaining a valid connection between the segment and the rest of the run:
    If you want to… then select…
    modify the entire run to match the parameters of the selected segment Modify to next junction/transition.
    insert a transition fitting to connect the cable tray or conduit without changing the entire run Modify to maintain connection to next part.

    If you have chosen to modify an entire run that is connected to another run, the junction fitting that connects the 2 runs is replaced. The software inserts an appropriate transition fitting in its place to maintain a valid connection at that junction.
