Allows you to insert components in a cableway route along a straight feature, end feature, nozzle, or component port. You can insert components after routing or while routing.

Properties

Opens the Insert Component Settings dialog.

Select Straight or End Feature

Prompts you to select a straight feature, end feature, nozzle, or a component port.

Part

Allows you to select a part from the catalog.

Enter Insertion Point

Positions the component that you are placing. You can use the Tools > PinPoint and Tools > Point Along commands to define the precise location of the component.

Finish

Ends the placement of the component feature. Click this button after you are satisfied with the editing that you have completed and the positioning of the component.

Run

Displays the name of the run in which the component is placed.

If you specify that the component should be created as a new run by selecting <New Cableway> from the Run list, the software populates the New Cableway dialog with the properties belonging to the existing run (that is, the run you selected in which to insert the component). If the properties of the existing run do not match the defaults specified in the electrical system, the software displays a dialog asking you if you want to use the properties of the System, Run, or None.

Name

Displays the name of the component that you are inserting. This control becomes available when you choose a part.

The following controls become available after you click to position the component.

Flip

Select this option to change the component port that is connected to the selected port.

Reference position

Slides the component that you are inserting so that its origin or selected port is positioned at the insertion point. If the selected reference position does not lie along the axis of the leg, then the software projects the position so that it intersects the axis and the component slides so that the projected point is located at the insertion point.
