Cabling Overview

The Cabling Help describes the procedure of defining 3D cable harnesses in Creo Parametric assemblies. It offers information on routing wires and cables and managing cabling projects. Refer to these help topics for information on using the Cabling environment, tools, and techniques. For a detailed overview, skim the Help contents.

Tasks for Cabling
• Adding a Harness Part to the Assembly ◦ Creating a Harness ◦ Modifying a Harness ◦ Creating a Subharness • Reading in Logical References (Optional) ◦ Using Logical References ◦ Importing Logical Data • Adding Spools Wires and Cables ◦ Creating Spools ◦ Adding Wires and Cables ◦ Using Ribbon Cables • Designating Components ◦ Designating Components as Connectors ◦ Assigning Entry Ports • Routing Cables ◦ Using a Simple Route ◦ Routing via a Network ◦ Autorouting ◦ Modifying a Route	• Using Locations ◦ Adding Locations ◦ Adding Locations for Ribbon Cables • Simple Working Examples ◦ Copy a Harness ◦ Creating Spools ◦ Manually Designate Components and Route Cables ◦ Logically Designate Components and Route Cables ◦ Adding Harness to Family Tables ◦ Insert a Splice or Custom Component ◦ Modify a Route ◦ Create Location Points for Ribbon Cables ◦ Routing Shield Wires ◦ Create Branch Bundle
