Bundle command bar

Returns you to the Assembly environment.

Selects the conductors to be included in the bundle.

Defines the path along which the bundle runs.

Adjusts the endpoints of the path to control tangency.

Selects the properties used to define the bundle.

This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Preview button shows what the constructed feature will look like, based on the input provided in the other steps. The Finish button constructs the feature. After previewing or finishing the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards all input and exits the command.

Describes the Path step options.

Specifies that you will create a new path for the bundle to follow.

Specifies that the bundle will follow an existing path. If you select this option, you can select any other wires as the existing path. You cannot select a cable or bundle as the existing path, nor can you select wires that are connected to the splice across which you intend to create the bundle.

Adjusts the endpoints of the path to control tangency.

Creates a split bundle over a splice. This button is only enabled when you select a splice when creating a bundle.

For more information, see Creating bundles over splices.

Selects a cylindrical face on a cutout through which the path can run.

Selects keypoints through which the path can run.

Displays the terminal and component names for the selected conductor.

Redefines the location of an existing point you select. You can use the Relative/Absolute option on the command bar to redefine its position relative to its current position or with respect to its absolute position in the document. You can type a new coordinate in the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis boxes, select a keypoint, or click a point in space.

Sets the type of keypoint on existing geometry you can select when defining the path.

	Selects any keypoint.
	Selects an x,y,z point in free space.
	Selects an end point.
	Selects a midpoint.
	Selects the center point of a circle, arc, square, or rectangle.

Specifies whether the value you type is relative to the point's current position or is based on the global origin of the document. The global origin is the point where the three default reference planes intersect (the exact center of the design space).

Sets the position for the x axis.

Sets the position for the y axis.

Sets the position for the z axis.

Clears the selection.

Accepts the selection.

Sets the method of selecting the path the bundle should follow.

• Single—Selects one or more individual paths.

• Chain—Selects an endpoint connected set of paths.

Specifies the end condition for the start end of the curve. You can specify whether or not the start point of the curve is tangent to an element you select, and the length of the tangent vector. Define the length of the tangent vector by dragging the tangent vector handle using the mouse or you can type a value.

Specifies the end condition for the finish end of the curve. You can specify whether or not the start point of the curve is tangent to an element you select, and the length of the tangent vector. Define the length of the tangent vector by dragging the tangent vector handle using the mouse or you can type a value.

Specifies the material for the bundle.

Displays the Properties dialog box that allows you to make changes to the properties for the bundle.

Displays the feature name. Feature names are assigned automatically. You can edit the name by typing a new name in the box on the command bar or by selecting the feature and using the Rename command on the shortcut menu.
