You can now use the newly introduced Cabling Tree to effectively manage cabling data within your model. This tree is specifically designed for the Cabling application and includes three distinct views: Cable View, Bundle View, and Connectivity View. Each of these views offers a unique way to visualize the harness structure, with dedicated filters and columns for independent customization.

Cable View

Bundle View

Connectivity View

  • Cable View: Displays all cables, wires, overbraids, networks, and bundles in the active harness. You can expand the nodes to see additional details such as spools, segments, and location points for each segment, enabling quick access to routed cables for investigation and modification.

  • Bundle View: Shows the bundles and their contents within the active harness. This includes additional bundles, cables, wires, and spools, along with cables that are partially routed through the bundles. It makes it easy to locate and manage bundles and their components.

  • Connectivity View: Displays the designated connectors and the routing between them in the active harness. It allows expansion of routed wires to show their ports on both ends and includes logical wires, terminators, and reference designation labels for better tracking and validation of connectivity.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location: Click Applications > Cabling. The Cabling Tree is displayed.

Benefits:
The Cabling Tree significantly enhances data management in cabling by providing a more logical structure than the previously flat list in the Model Tree. With its independent views, it offers clearer visibility into the harness structure, making it easier to locate, modify, and create routes. This improvement facilitates the creation, investigation, and validation of harness designs more efficiently.

Additional Information:

  • Limitations: Cosmetic features and markers are not yet supported.
  • Does this replace existing functionality?: No.
  • Configuration option associated with this functionality: None.
