Adding a cable to a splice
Hi, everyone.
I'm trying to find the recommended process for adding a cable to a splice. I'm running Creo 3. Here's the setup:
- There's a network routed that goes to and from the splices.
- There are a bunch of cables that already pass through the splice in question, and they are all grouped in bundles.
- I want to route a new cable (or reroute an existing one) and it should pass through the splice, and be included in the bundles.
- Routing through network doesn't work (for some reason Creo doesn't find a path, even though the network is contiguous), but I can do a simple route and manually reroute to pass through the correct locations. However, the only way that seems to work is this:
- Extract a cable already going through the splice from its bundles on either side.
- Use reroute to let the new cable follow the extracted cable. This way it gets routed through the splice. (Sometimes this means I need to create an extra location on one or both ends of the splice, since I can't start my reroute at a splice.
- Add the cables back into the bundles they should belong to.
Is there a simpler way to do this? Can't I just "add" the cable to the splice, just like I can add it to a bundle? Select the cable, select the splice, and done.
ETA: It seems that the method above doesn't always work. Can't get it to work now. Any tips?
