You can add segments to existing cables using Cabling's Append to Routing commands. You can also connect the ends of existing cables to terminals, connectors, points, and other cables.
You can also gather separate cables and unite them as a single cable in your harness structure. This works regardless of whether the cables are connected to each other (or form a continuous wireframe).
To add a straight segment to a cable,
1. Click Cabling and then, in the Modify group, click Append.
2. Click Linear. The Add Straight dialog box opens.
3. In the viewport, select the cable near its end. The Round button appears in the Add Straight dialog box.
4. Specify a distance or drag the copilot in either direction.
5. Click Round to add a round segment, or click to complete the operation.
To add a round segment to a cable,
1. Click Cabling and then, in the Modify group, click Append.
2. Click Round. The Add Round Segment dialog box opens.
3. In the viewport, select the cable near its end. The Radius, Arc Angle, and Rotate sliders appear in the Add Round Segment dialog box.
4. Adjust the Radius, Arc Angle, and Rotate sliders.
5. Click Round or Straight to add another segment, or click to complete the operation.
To add a segment to a particular destination,
1. Click Cabling and then, in the Modify group, click Append.
2. Click Tangential. The Add Cable Segment dialog box opens.
3. In the viewport, select the cable near its end.
4. Select a Destination Type:
◦ Dynamic: Dynamically drag the copilot in the viewport. Use Tang Dir to specify any tangencies.
◦ Connector: Select a connector in the viewport and define pin mappings. Pivot Offset is the space between the connector and the point at which the cable splits into its conductors.
◦ Cab End: Attach the end of the cable to the end of another cable.
◦ Point: Select a new point on the active workplane, and use Tang Dir to specify any tangencies.
◦ Terminal: Add a segment connecting to a terminal. Only wires may be connected to terminals.
◦ Next to Cab: Place the new segment next to another cable's end.
5. Click to complete the operation.
