Software:
WF 3.0, Datecode M210
with Pro/CABLING
Situation:
In my assembly file, I have four .prt files: two connectors and two backshells.
I designate the connectors and the backshells as Components for use with cabling.
I "Attach to Harness" the backshells then route (Along Axis)the wires throught the backshells to the connectors.
Then I create the .mfg and the flattened harness.
The Problem:
The connectors and the backshells show up nicely in the flattened harness. And the backshells are nicely aligned with the harness (since they were routed Along Axis, this is the expected result). BUT..., the connectors are off-center from the harness and the backshells.
The Question:
How can I get the connectors to be on-center with the harness and the backshells?
I see this off-center behavior with connectors even without backshells. When flattening a cable, there is always one particular wire that controls the orientation/position of the connector relative to the harness. (You know, it's the wire that moves the connectorwhen you do a Flatten>Move Segment.)
But if that controlling wire is off-center from the geometric center of the connector (e.g. on Pin 1 of a 15-pin connector) then how can I get the connector to line up on-line/on-center with the harness..., and thus with the backshell (which is already perfectly in-line)?
Anyone else facing this issue? Anyone found a solution?
