Faster Access and Easier Search in Electrical Attributes (2025 SP3)

You can find and use Electrical Attributes in SOLIDWORKS Routing more efficiently. Improved access and a search bar, let you quickly filter wires and cables by property values.

Benefits: These improvements make Electrical Attributes easier to find, faster to use, and more consistent with the rest of SOLIDWORKS Routing.

Enhancements for Electrical Attributes include:
  • Quick search inside the Electrical Attributes PropertyManager

    You can filter the wire list by entering into a new search bar. As you type, SOLIDWORKS Routing narrows the list to match your search based on property values. It supports partial matches and is not case-sensitive. A message appears if the search does not find any matches.

  • Easy access from the CommandManager and Menu

    You can open Electrical Attributes directly from the Routing tab in the CommandManager or by navigating to Tools > Routing > Electrical > Electrical Attributes. You can also right-click a route segment or the Route1 feature in a subassembly to start it.

  • Tooltip guidance

    When you hover over the Electrical Attributes icon, a tooltip explains what you are viewing in the Electrical Attributes of the selected route segment. This information helps users understand the tool at a glance.

  • Improved context awareness

    When you are working in a top-level assembly with multiple subassemblies, SOLIDWORKS Routing prompts you to choose which route assembly to view Electrical Attributes for. To access the tool, you can right-click the route feature in a subassembly. The Electrical Attributes PropertyManager is accessible from both the 3D environment and flattening routes.

  • Smarter Cable Search Results

    When you search and the result matches a cable core, SOLIDWORKS Routing shows only the cable and its matching cores, not the entire core list.
