After you define paths between connectors in the route subassembly, you can associate cable/wire data with the paths. The route diameter updates to reflect the diameter of the cables or wires you select for each path.
Contents
You can identify two or more wires to braid into a twisted pair and calculate its cut length.
You can assign a specific color for cables when editing wires. The color is reflected on the cable in the cable part.
You can replace a wire or cable after its path has been defined, without losing its path and connectivity data (Component ref and Pin). You can also add a new wire or cable along the same path as an existing wire or cable.
You can reuse an existing harness in the same assembly or in other assemblies. The reused route uses the same wire definitions and connectors as the original route, but you can edit the reused route path as if it were unique.
You can correct violations of the minimum bend radius requirements of a cable or flexible tube.
When editing a cable route, you can query the electrical attributes of the selected route segment.
The Edit Wires PropertyManager appears when, after defining paths between connectors in the route sub-assembly, you associate cable/wire data with the paths.
