Question

Cabling - Auto-populated wire run list

I have been doing battle with Pro/Cabling and have now run out of steam.

I have managed to define a couple of connectors, complete with entry ports and pin numbers, created a network and autorouted my cable using the NWF file as recommended.

So far, so good.

I have created a flat harness drawing, with conductor lengths, etc., but I now want to create a wire run list.

I have so far failed to manage this part of the job. I have a repeat region showing one of the connectors and its entry port names together with the wire names attached to each of those entry ports. I cannot get the table to pick up the 'TO' connector/pins, or to read the colour information from the spool definitions included in the NWF file.

I would appreciate any help you are able to offer.

This is the sort of thing I want to achieve, but in this case, the table was created manually in Excel and copy/pasted.

 

I thought there must be a way to create such a table automatically in Pro/E.

 

 

I suppose the lack of answers means either it can't be done, or it's so simple and straightforward that it doesn't warrant a reply...

 

 

 

Seriously, though, any hints, anybody?

 

 

Cheers,

Please take a look at this thread http://communities.ptc.com/message/259128#259128 Download the zip file and you should be able to investigate all the tables and then create the table you want using the sample tables as a reference.

cheers, Jim

Jim,

Thank you for the link.

I am unable to use it, because I am using Wildfire 4, so I cannot open Creo 2 files.

 

Cheers anyway.

John,

You need to use the harness manufacturing tool to flatten the harness. A wire from/to list can be generated from the flattened state. Attached is a table I use.

Thanks,

jef
