Define Route Through Preliminary Route Points (PRPs)

Route Points can be used to constrain the route of a cable. These route points are points through which the cable must pass.The route points are defined when the cableway branch is created and/or modified.

If a route has not been defined for the cable, then a list of suitable routing branches will be displayed. Select a route point from Select Preliminary Route Points from Cwbranch list. If a route has been defined then the chosen PRPs will be displayed in the List of Preliminary Route Points list.
