About Creo Harness Manufacturing
With Creo Harness Manufacturing (HMX), you can automatically create a manufacturing drawing for a 3D harness with little manual intervention. You can also specify a drawing border format for the drawing. The HMX tool automates following processes:
• Extracts the 3D topology of the routed harness from its associated 3D geometry
• Transforms the 3D topology to a 2D representation
• Displays the 2D representation as a 2D drawing with a default border
• Adds manufacturing information to annotate the drawing
You can modify the manufacturing drawing without changing the 3D harness; however, the changes made to the drawing are not reflected in the 3D geometry. If you modify the 3D harness, you must close the current drawing and re-flatten the harness, to generate a new manufacturing drawing. This method of regeneration eliminates the overhead of maintaining the MFG file.
A harness is a collection of electrically active components, such as wires, cables, connectors, and terminals, which has a contiguous topology. The components are bundled together using mechanical protection, such as tubing or braid. The components share one or more location points.
A sub-harness is a subset of a wire harness comprising wires or cables only. The wires or cables are topologically contiguous and may be bound together with tubing or braid, or share one or more location points.
