To Get Flat Harness Information
1. Click Model > Harness.
2. Select the required command from the following:
2D-3D Info—When you select a flattened location or segment, the corresponding location or segment is highlighted in both the flattening and the 3D windows.
Wire List—The wire list for a flattened harness indicates:
Which harness or subharness is being flattened
Which connectors have or have not been assembled yet
Whether all entry ports with locations have been connected to those locations, and
Which wires or cables are not flattened, partially flattened, completely flattened, or attached to the appropriate entry ports at ends
Branch Info—Gives you information about the mainstream of wires in a flattened harness.
When you click Branch Info, you are prompted to select one or two locations. All wires passing through the selected locations are highlighted.
Cabling also displays the names of all the wires flowing in the selected branch of the loop, their gauge, and their thickness. The total thickness value is the thickness of a hypothetical bundle containing the wires flowing in the selected branch.
Component—When you select a component (splice, connector, or attached) assembled to a flat harness, the message line provides the model name, type of component, the reference designator, if there is one, and lets you view parameters, if any. Custom Components and Attached Components do not have parameters. Their parameters are, therefore, not viewable.
Flat Status—When selected, changes the color of features in both the flattening and 3D windows to show the state of the flattening process.
Flattening window—(Center Line display mode only) Changes the color of the flattened location features from normal to purple if some items could still be laid out from that location, and blue if they can have a connector assembled to them.
3D Window—(Center Line display mode only) Changes the display of cable features from normal to gray if they have been laid out completely. Locations remain green or cyan if no items through them have been laid out yet, purple if some items could still be laid out from a location, and brown if they have been skipped.
