ABSTRACT
SolidWorks Routing enables designers to create a special type of subassembly that builds a path of pipes, tubes, or electrical cables between components. SolidWorks Routing also includes harness flattening and detailing capabilities so that designers can develop two-dimensional harness manufacturing drawings from three-dimensional electrical route assemblies. It should be noted that a route is always a component of a top-level assembly. This means that when the designers using SolidWorks insert components into an assembly, a route subassembly is created automatically. There is a way of switching from the subassembly to the top-level assembly. The SolidWorks software makes extensive use of design tables to create and modify the configurations of route components. The configurations are distinguished by different dimensions and properties. When the routing exercise is complete, a new drawing document is opened for presenting the drawing of the route.
