  1. Click Select .

  2. Select Cable in the Locate filter box, and then select a cable in a graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer.

  3. Click Select Avoidance Features , and then select the cableway features through which you do not want the cable routed.

  4. Click AutoRoute .

    The cable is routed along the shortest path through features other than the ones selected as avoidance features. The combination of setting avoidance features and using AutoRoute constrains the cable to avoid features while choosing the optimum path.

  • Use avoidance features to ensure that AutoRoute does not route a cable through specified cableway features. You must have a cable already placed and selected to open the Edit Cable Path ribbon.

  • You need not select the entry and exit points because the autoroute feature picks them. However, if there are any numbers of cableways lying in the maximum tail range of the equipment, then you might want to select the entry and exit points.

  • This feature works only with autorouting.
