ABSTRACT

This chapter shows how to add Routing to Solid Works and set routing options and explores how to manually create a route by dragging connectors from the electrical routing Design Library to create a harness. A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring loom, is a string of cables and/or wires that are used to design wiring systems. This method has many advantages over modeling wires and cables individually. It allows Solid Works to make many calculations for the user and greatly reduces errors. The Auto Route Property Manager must be open to perform this procedure. If it is closed, right-click anywhere to the right side of the Command Manager to display a long list of tools.
