To help you connect wires to pins, wire pins for flattened routes are colored when they display in connector blocks. The pin colors match the color of the wires used in the 3D Route. These pin colors are also listed in the connector tables.
A BOM-based connector table is available using the .sldbomtbt file extension. BOM-based connector tables preserve edits through model updates.
Enhancements for electrical flattening include the ability to:
The Routing Library Manager supports assembly fittings for piping and tubing, and assembly connectors for electrical routing. You can use the Routing Component Wizard to ensure that your assembly fittings and connectors have the necessary requirements for use in route assemblies.
