Spools.Description
Spools are now managed as bulk parts instead of features. This change improves BOM integration, length calculations, reusability, and library management.
Legacy spool files (*.spl) can be converted into new bulk items. The Spools Library has been enhanced with customizable parameter columns and a new spool_index.lst file that captures the display order. All menu managers have been replaced by standard user interfaces.
Benefits
• Reuses spool definitions across multiple harnesses with accurate BOM and length calculations.
• Enhances usability through a modern, consistent user interface.
• Supports standard library management practices including version control and reference tracking.
• Streamlines the spool creation by using existing or legacy spool files as templates.
