I have a series of questions related to actual cable and harness design, RSD thru techniqes in Pro/CABLE.
Ill just keep modifying my post till I get an answer posted.
1. How do folks handle striped wires. I have a 14 AWG ground wire with a yellow stripe. Created it in RSD 7.0 and routing in WF3.0 (even I get a contract job sometimes)
2. I got some flex cable (Mylar film) to route and it looks great. Only I routed em all using Autorout from each individual conductor. Looks flat too like a ribbon... How are you guys handling that?
3. Speaking of naming convention. Leave manufacture name in or out of the Pro/E name? Has anyone got a process or plan in place at your work for naming connectors and entering them into your favorite valt systems. Im using intralink. ie. molex_09501031.prtand lets say for example it has six CSO for entry ports is there a convention for naming the entry ports? ENTRY01, ENTRY02, ENTRY03...
if it is an 8 pin inline connector, do you see a problem naming it 0801F.PRT'F' for female.A two by two nylon connector would be 0202F.PRT My idea is to be able to route everything before the EE's decide what connector brand they want to use. If I can manage my naming conventions appropriately they should be able to substitute later.
