  1. In the 2D view, select the logical connection you want to route.

    In the 2D view, a balloon appears.

    In the 3D view:

    • The shapes at the ends of the logical connection are highlighted.
    • A line representing the logical connection between the shapes appears.



  2. In the balloon, click Auto Pathway Routing and then click anywhere in the 3D view.

In the 3D view, a pathway is created between the shapes and the logical connection is routed through it.

Important: If a shape at the end of a pathway is subsequently moved (using the Robot), the pathway will adjust automatically to the new position of the shape during an update.
