Loom Properties dialog box

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

Occurrence Tab

Loom ID

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.

Adjusted Length
