Reconnect wire pins

Wires may dangle when connectors or connector pins are deleted, connectors are replaced, or connector pins are renamed. Wires also dangle when the harness assembly is made adaptive in another top assembly causing the harness to lose all external connections. Use Reconnect Wire Pins to automatically reconnect these dangling wires based on the RefDes and pin number stored in the wire pin or a connector you select. If the RefDes was renamed, select the connector to use.

Note: If the RefDes information is missing, use Edit Wire to reconnect an individual wire.

1. Open a part that contains dangling wires, and click Cable and Harness tab Create panel Reconnect Wire Pins .
2. Indicate the wire pins to reconnect:
   • To reconnect all dangling wire pins at once, enable the Dangling Wire Pins check box.
   • To reconnect selected wire pins, disable the All Dangling Wire Pins check box, and then select the dangling wire pins in the browser or graphics window.
     Tip: Use the number of selected pins to verify your selection.
3. Indicate the method to use to reconnect the wire pins:
   • To reconnect using stored RefDes information, enable the Connect Using RefDes check box.
   • To reconnect using a connector you select, disable the Connect Using RefDes check box, and then select the connector to use in the browser or graphics window.
4. Click OK.
