The cable and harness library file contains all the library data. By default, the file is named Cable&HarnessDefaultLibrary.iwl and is located in the Design Data\Cable & Harness directory as set for the project. You can change this location using the File Locations tab on the Harness Settings dialog box.
Typically, one cable and harness library file is created and stored on a server for all harness assemblies to reference. If multiple members of a team access the Cable and Harness Library, place it in a shared location. You can set a different cable and harness library file and location for each harness assembly, although only one is recommended.
The first person to open the Cable and Harness Library can add, edit, and remove harness objects. All others attempting to access the Cable and Harness Library, are notified that the library is being edited and it cannot be accessed. In this case, the Cable and Harness library is read only. However, you can still insert any harness object listed in the Cable and Harness Library into the harness assembly. For all harness objects but cables and raw ribbon cables, the default library definition is used when the cable and harness library cannot be found. The default library definitions cannot be modified.
Each time you open the Cable and Harness Library, the system checks for changes to the library data that require an update. If updates are required, the changes are immediately available in the active harness assembly.
