Cable Length Parameter

Hello,

I have routed a cable.  How can I display the length of the cable in a table (i.e. what parameter captures the length of the cable)?  Thank you.

Are you in a linked (Windchill - PDMLink) Session? If so then the part may just be set to read only or not checked out.

 

You need to enter the relation into the relations dialog box and set it equal to some name which will then show up as a parameter that you can use in a table or elsewhere.

Write a relation that uses the cable_len function in the part of interest. You can then use the parameter defined in the relation in a table or note.

 

For a segment of a cable or bundle, use the following syntax:

cable_len ("cable_name",location_id1,location_id2)

 

For a cable length from the proximal to distal connection, use the following syntax:

cable_len ("cable_name",-1,-1)

    Is this relation written in the harness.prt or the harness.asm containing the harness.prt and connectors?

    OK, I wrote the relation in the .asm file containing the routed harness and it's calculating a length of 0.  I'll keep trying.
