My Preferred way till now is to start with along axis and as it leaves connector in a desirable way, co-ordinate system. Creating intermediate locations with placement reference co-ordinate. Any of your preferred ways you feel more convenient to get perfect route as wanted and easy to modify. SEE some IMAGES ref. Please let me know. I may learn from others sent time to figure that out. Lots of trial and error t-e-t-e-t-e...   : )  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

So when we do offsets, we offset from the CSYS of the cabling assembly itself, that way if the connector gets replaced with a different part number, we don't run into issues with missing references.

We usually start with a routed network as well, and usually it's on a skeleton part, so we can make sketches in our system for the route to follow.  For us it's easier to place points on a sketch rather than make each one an offset.

If you need any pictures or better explanations, let me know!

Yes. I do the same and it is the best practice. Thanks for that advice. 

I am looking for other different ways to route that you think are the best ways.
