Routed and Unrouted Wires and Cables

When routing and unrouting individual wires, each wire is independent and can take a different path through the assembly. When routing and unrouting cables all cable wires that make up the cable must follow the same path. If a change is made to the routing or unrouting of one cable wire, all associated cable wires also change.

Wires and cables can be routed only into segments that are in the active harness assembly. To route wires and cables, you can use one of three methods:

manual

Inserts individual wires and cables into selected segments one at a time. Segments can be discontinuous.

semi-automatic

Inserts selected wires and cables into continuous segments.

automatic

Automatically inserts all unrouted wires or cables into the segment that is closest to the wire connect points (pins) and also represents the shortest path.

When routing or unrouting, you can select the object to use before opening the dialog box. You can also select the objects using the dialog box commands.
