Route cables manually by profile
With the Profile command, you can route cabling along either a workplane's 2D Geometry or a 3D curve.
To manually route cabling on workplane geometry,
1. Click Cabling and then, in the Manual Routing group, click Wire.
2. Click Profile Wire. The Create Cable dialog box opens.
3. Select a cable or wire.
4. Click Workplane and select the workplane containing the geometry along which you wish to route cabling.
◦ Click In WP to place the cable directly in the workplane, or specify an Offset.
◦ Click On Curve to route the cable on an existing 3D Curve.
* 
You can use the Project Geometry command on the Structure tab, in the Workplane group in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling to project your parts' profile geometry to a workplane, along which you can then route cables
5. Click to complete the operation.
To manually route cabling on a 3D Curve,
1. Click Cabling and then, in the Manual Routing group, click Wire.
2. Click Profile Wire. The Create Cable dialog box opens.
3. Select a cable or wire.
4. Click 3D Curve and select the 3D Curve in the viewport.
5. Click to complete the operation.
