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

Properties

Opens the Conduit Component Properties dialog.

Select Straight or End Feature

Prompts you to select a straight feature, end feature, nozzle, or a component port to begin the steps to insert the conduit component.

Type

Displays a list of available components. Select the type of component that you want to insert.

Option

Sets the available options of the component type. The list of options depends on the contents of the reference data for the component.

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 Create 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 option is only available after you choose the type of 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.

Rotate

Rotates the component about the conduit. Select to rotate the component about the conduit interactively.

Angle

Type an angle at which you want the component rotated about the conduit.
