Drawings in Cable and Harness

To document harness assemblies, you can create:

In standard Autodesk Inventor drawings, cable and harness information is treated like other parts and subassemblies and you can detail them using normal drawing manager methods and commands. Wires, cables, ribbon cables, and segments are automatically displayed in the drawing when displayed as rendered in the assembly. Looms are displayed in the color of the loom if they are set to show, which is the default. No other virtual parts are displayed. You can also manually include any combination of wires, segments, and cables as centerlines for ease in dimensioning or to save computation time. Splices must also be manually included in a drawing view.

If you include centerlines for wires or cables, but not the segment it is routed through, Autodesk Inventor determines the segments through which the wires or cables are routed, and then displays those centerlines along with those of the wires or cables.

You can use the standard Autodesk Inventor drawing templates located in the Open dialog box. You can also update your existing templates or create new ones.
