What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The new Branch Tape cosmetic feature represents an electrical tape wrapped around wires and junctions, and binds them together using advanced placement capabilities.
A branch tape can be wrapped around wires, cables, bundles, and stiff shrinks.
You can specify an overlap factor parameter that defines a width % for each wrap of a tape.
You can use a tape spool to define the following parameters:
• Length of wrapped tape on one bundle
• Color
• Thickness
• Tape width
• Tape thickness
• Mass per length
