Loom Properties

Adds, modifies, and removes properties on selected loom occurrences. Also lists all segments that share a single loom occurrence.

Access:

With an active harness assembly, right-click a loom occurrence, and then select Harness Properties.

Occurrence Tab

Name	The unique name for the loom occurrence within the assembly. It is also the name used in the browser.
Loom ID	Sets the unique identifier for the loom occurrence within the assembly. Click the arrow to select from the list. The Loom ID enables proper tracking for a single loom that is attached to multiple segments. Only segments can share a loom. All looms with the same ID are counted as one object in the BOM, which provides a cumulative length of all loom segments.
Order	Displays the order in which the loom is placed when multiple looms are attached to a single harness object. Loom order is set when the loom is created or when modifying wire or segment properties. A loom order of 1, means the loom is the first loom placed on the harness object. The order of the loom also determines the size of the loom to attach.

Length displays the various length values for a loom.

Length	Displays the actual length of the loom occurrence.
Adjusted Length	Displays the sum of the lengths from all loom occurrences that make up a particular loom.
Order list	Lists all loom portions along with loom order, the segments to which they are assigned, and the length of the portion.
