About the Cabling Tree
The Cabling Tree enables you to view cabling items in diverse ways according to segments, locations, bundles hierarchy, and connectivity. You can also use the Cabling Tree to show the logical groups.
The Cabling Tree supports Expand All, Collapse All, Show or Hide Columns, Tree Columns, Tree Filters, Queries by type, and Queries by state operations.
The Cabling Tree displays data in three views:
• 
Cable View—In this view, cables, wires, overbraids, networks, and bundles are at the top of the hierarchy and additional information such as spools, segments, and location points are nested under them.

Bundle View—In this view, bundles are at the top of the hierarchy while spools, cables, wires, and other segments are nested under it. This view allows you to quickly examine the bundles and its contents in the active harness.
Bundle View—In this view, bundles are at the top of the hierarchy while spools, cables, wires, and other segments are nested under it. This view allows you to quickly examine the bundles and its contents in the active harness.• 
Connectivity View —In this view, you can view all designated connectors in the active harness. You can view the wires routed between connectors and their entry ports. Reference Designation notes are also visible in this view. Connectivity View makes it easier to investigate and track the overall connectivity of the active harness.

Cabling Tree Filters
Filters are specific to the views selected in the Cabling Tree.
The Cabling Tree can be filtered by cables, bundles, networks, conductors, wires, locations, cable/bundle segment, spools, parts, assemblies, and ports.
Cabling Icons in the Model Tree
The following cabling-related icons appear in the model tree.
Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 | Indicates the location of a cable. |
 | Indicates the harness currently in use. |
 | Indicates the subharness currently in use. |
 | Indicates bundles. A bundle is a sheath feature containing one or more cables, wires, or other bundles that pass through the same location. |
 | Indicates cables. Two or more wires bound together form a cable. |
 | Indicates an unrouted logical data. |
 | Indicates a harness. A harness is a part file that contains cables and wires within the assembly. |
 | Indicates markers. Markers represent shrink wrap tubing that is placed on a cable during the manufacturing process to identify the cable for assembly, maintenance, and repair purposes. |
 | Indicates networks. A network is a series of locations that defines default paths to automate the process to route cables. |
 | Indicates a network path. A network path is a path defined within the network. It associates specific cables or wires with the path to further control the routing via a network. |
 | Indicates incomplete or broken cables. |
 | Indicates segments. |
 | Indicates stiff shrinks. A stiff shrink is a sheath feature through which multiple cables and wires can be routed. |
 | Indicates a subarness. A subharness is a subset of a harness part. |
 | Indicates tapes. |
 | Indicates tie wraps. A tie wrap is used to hold one cable or several cables together. |
 | Indicates the dependent harness currently in use. |
 | Indicates a dependent harness. |
 | Indicates that the harness is a child of a flexible assembly. |
 | Indicates branch tapes. |
 | Indicates ribbon cables. A ribbon cable is a flat and wide cable with many conducting wires running parallel to each other on the same flat plane. |
 | Indicates incomplete or broken ribbon cables. |
 | Indicates wires. |
 | Indicates incomplete or broken wires. |
 | Indicates conductors. |
 | Indicates incomplete or broken conductors. |
 | Indicates overbraids. The overbraid feature in Cabling provides a method of grouping multilevel cables and understanding the hierarchy of a multilevel cable. |
 | Indicates spools imported from a logical data. |
 | Indicates spools created in Creo. |
 | Indicates connectors in connectivity view. |
 | Indicates ports in connectivity view. |
 | Indicates terminals. |
 | Indicates the Reference Designation note. |
