How to use electrical routing ?

How to use electrical routing ?

How to use electrical routing ?

(OP)
I have read the routing help ,and did following it .
But I have many problems , I want some help.

1.The default minimum bend radius check is always on,and I  can't close it. But in my computer, the space is not enough to put all wires with the right bend radius, I want to close the default check ,what should I do?

2.I route wires manually ,and for the computer's performance, I assemble many terminal blocks as a assembly,then I put this assembly into the final assembly .
But when I edit the wires ,appoint the from-to parts,if the  parts come from different assemblies, I can not do it .I just appoint the lines one by one. It's OK ,but after I saved it ,reopen,the wires properties disappear,the length of wire is zero.What happened? What's wrong ?

3.I drew some switch blocks ,with nomal open and nomal closed connecting points.Between the two points ,the line is  only one .But between the two Parts,there are two or three lines. I think the software don't remember the points , so I open the assembly again, the lines become  different,with the lines I closed it.One points starts with two wires .Another points thar should have one has nothing ,
it's orderless.It's not the same with it should be ,last time I rememberd.What should I do?
  
What wrong ?  If someone who have experience,could you tell me what to do ?  Thanks.

Did you get training from your VAR? Now that you have read the help manuals, you can call your VAR and they can easily answer your questions.
