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.
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
