Manufactured-Style Flattened Route
You can adjust the angle of a line or an arc from the X-axis when you edit the
manufactured-style flattened route.
To access the PropertyManager, right-click a manufacture-style flattened route in the
FeatureManager design tree and click Edit Flattened Route .

Mass and Density of Cables and Wires
You can set the mass of cables, cores, and wires in the Cable Wire Library Wizard
and the density for coverings in the Covering Library Wizard
Library Manager.
using the Routing
The cable wire library and the covering library define the mass properties of an electrical
route that has cables, cores, wires, and coverings. The software calculates and applies
these properties to the solid bodies based on the values set in the libraries. You can view
the mass by using SOLIDWORKS Mass Properties.
You can also view the Mass per Unit Length and Density attributes in the following
PropertyManagers. These values are read-only.
• Edit Wires PropertyManager under Properties.
• Covering PropertyManager under Layer Properties.
• Fixed Length Covering PropertyManager under Layer Properties.
Minimum Bend Radius
You can create a route part if the bend radius of the cable, core, or wire is less than the
minimum.
Click Tools > Options > System Options > Routing and select Create route part
for segments if bend radius is less than the minimum.
In a route part for segments, the software considers the individual minimum bend radius
for the cable and core.
You can view the unit of measure for Minimum Bend Radius and Outer Diameter in
the Cable Wire Library Wizard
using the Routing Library manager.
When you save the XML file using the Routing Library manager, the XML file and the
Routing Library manager use the same unit of measure.
