Ribbon
cable clips
restrain the cable
at selected points along the
route to help you
define the path of the cable.
Ribbon cable clips contain:
- An axis to define the centerline of the route as it passes through
the clip.
- A coordinate system to define the alignment of the ribbon cable as it
passes through the clip.
To access clips provided with the software, on the Design Library tab of the Task Pane, browse to routing\electrical\ribbon cable.
Ribbon cable clips work the same way as clips in route assemblies but also require a
specified coordinate system. See Support for Clip
Assemblies and Clip Parts in the Routing Component Wizard.
You can use virtual
clips to help you control the path of the cable without adding hardware to the
assembly. The virtual clip does not require any solid geometry. You can exclude the
virtual clip from the bill of materials.
