Pro-Cabling

I have quite experience of pro-cabling, done cabling
previously using .dgm file, now I have a new task to do
the cabling with only having .XML file and ppt.
presentation showing cable paths.
I took the XML file and loaded it through logical
reference, it gave the message saying file loaded
successfully. I designated the connectors using entry
ports, Now when i try to route manually it is not
selecting the entry ports, please guide me why entry
ports are not getting selected also the right approach
with only xml file.
 
Hallo Catipash. Are you sure that the option for referencing external
assemblies is activated?I faced the same problem at the very beginning
of my love-hate affair with Procabling. May I ask you were your .xml
files come from? Are you using Prodiagram or a generic Ecad?
 
Hi,

Make sure that you have the relevant spool information
pulled up from the XML file....you may have to create the
spools from create#spool#from logical option before routing
the wires/cables....also make sure that cabling data
references have been properly shared from the main assembly
into the cabling assembly and the layer status is
appropriate.

I could solve the problem as i had 3 connectors in my assembly and i had assembled only 2 it was giving that erroe i feel.
