To Update a Harness Manufacturing Drawing Managed Using Windchill

Creo Harness Manufacturing > Creo Harness Manufacturing > Planning and Modelling Considerations > To Update a Harness Manufacturing Drawing Managed Using Windchill

With HMX V51, you can use a previous drawing template when updates have been made to the harness.

You can use HMX to edit and update harness drawings for the harness assemblies that are managed in a Windchill database.

1. Check out the wire harness assembly and the HMX drawing to be changed.

2. Modify the 3D harness assembly.

3. Open the HMX drawing.

In HMX V51, if the sketch assembly in the drawing is also managed by Windchill, the sketch assembly must first be renamed before updating the drawing.

4. Close the HMX drawing. The drawing will remain in session.

5. Ensure the 3D harness assembly is open in the active window.

6. Click Applications >

Harness Mfg. A message displays the name of the HMX drawing that will be updated.

7. Click Yes in the message box to set the session drawing as the drawing to be updated for modifications in the harness assembly.

Select No if you do not want to update the indicated drawing.

8. In the Harness Manufacturing Extension dialog box, the Filename box shows the drawing name.

• If multiple drawings are in session, HMX will display a message for each drawing until you select Yes for a drawing or all drawing names have been displayed.

• If the drawing in session has the default HMX drawing name as HMX_DRWM, it will be overwritten.

9. In the Harness Manufacturing Extension dialog box, Sketch filename displays the sketch name.

If the sketch assembly is also managed by Windchill, ensure the sketch filename matches that of the managed sketch filename.

10. Click Flatten Harness.

The harness manufacturing drawing is updated with the new harness drawing, BOM, Wire List, and Cavity tables.

11. Check-in the drawing into Windchill.

• You can rename the harness manufacturing drawing and harness assembly. Set the configuration option let_proe_rename_pdm_objects to yes to be able to rename the drawing and harness assembly.

• The default HMX drawing template does not contain any Windchill database parameters. To display these parameters, the database parameters should be embedded into the template.

Manual drawing updates are retained when HMX updates a harness drawing using HMX V50+.

HMX does not automatically check in the drawing or wire harness assembly into Windchill.
