Creo Cabling Module

Hello all. The pipes in Creo piping module comes as a feature in the assembly model tree. However, while working on cabling module, we start by creating a harness (part) and the cable in the model tree comes as a component.

Is there any way of turning this component into a feature?

Thanks

No, there is not a way to change this.  The Cabling module was created differently that the Piping module.

Sorry

Oh, then is there a way to create a copy of the cable "part"? I would like to bring the Cable assembly as a sub-assembly; into a main terminal assembly multiple times in different locations.

The same cabling assembly i'd like to assemble to different terminals. Right now, the second time i bring the cable assy it falls into the 1st assy's location.

Thanks Frank.

I'm not quite sure I understand your situations.  Are you;

1) Routing multiple wires to a terminal assembly?

Or

2) Routing the same harness/cable assembly, multiple times to the terminal assembly.

An generic image of the terminal assembly or your model tree may help..

Both of these are covered in the on-line training and help documents, but I'll try to summarize them.

I'm not deeply familiar with the Piping module, but remember you can have multiple wires and termination points in a harness assembly.  So a model tree of a harness assembly would look like this;

Harness.asm

     Harness_part.prt

     Connector.prt  (or .asm)     This is where the wires/cables in the harness part will terminate.  These are designated.

     Connector.prt ( or .asm)

     ...

     ...

1) Multiple wires to a terminal assembly:  You will have one harness assembly, Harn.asm,that contains one harness part, harn_part.prt. This harness assembly will be a sub-assembly of your next higher level terminal assembly. 

2) Routing the same harness/cable assembly to a next higher level, but with different routings:  In order to do this you will need to make copies of the harness assembly and rename them with a unique identifier.  For example, if you start with harness assembly 1A1.ASM, With harness part 1A1_HARN.prt.  Then the second copy would be 1A1_02.ASM, with the part 1A1_HARN_01.prt, You can then assembly each of these to your next higher level terminal assembly and modify each route accordingly.  NOTE:  If they are the same harness/cable assembly, you will have to manually make sure the lengths of the cables are the same.

I hope this make sense and helps.  If not, add some image of the situation and I will try to help.
