You can append the routing properties of an existing source cable to a destination cable or cables. This can be an efficient way of adding sections to an existing routing.

  • A source cable is a trunk cable for which you have already defined cable routing options, created the routing sections, and associated cables with these sections.

  • A destination cable is a trunk cable to which you want to add the routing data of the source cable.

  1. In the Domain Explorer, select the cables that will be your source for appending.

  2. Right-click the highlighted cables, and select Actions > Append Cable Routing.

  3. On the Append Cable Routing dialog, select a cable from the Wiring Explorer list.

    In the Source routing data group box, Smart Instrumentation displays the routing data for the selected cable.

  4. In Wiring Explorer, highlight the target cables, and select OK to append them to the Destination cables group box.

  5. Select the cables to which you want to append the routing data of the source cable in one of the following ways:

    • Select the check box to the left of each cable.

    • Choose Select all cables without routing. Use this option to avoid overwriting existing routing data.

    • Choose Select all to enable overwriting of existing routing data on the destination cables.

  6. Select Append.

  • To append routing data to additional cables, repeat steps 3 through 6.

  • Smart Instrumentation appends the new sections after the original sections of the destination cable, if there were any. You can change the order of these sections by opening the destination cable in the Cable Routing dialog. For details, see Edit a Cable Routing.
