Ribbon cable modeling

Hello, everyone:

I am trying to model a coloured ribbon cable 24AWG (8 conductors), and my question is: can I modify the pitch between conductors? Right now i have .2 mm between conductors centerlines... but my connector has 2.54 mm pitch. So i would need my ribbon cable to be the same 2.54 mm pitch. Can I do this in CREO? I would appreciate your support.

      • Creo Parametric 1.0 F000 to 7.0.1.0

      Description

      • Ribbon cables with distance in between the cable conductors cannot be created such like
      O-O-O-O-O-O     instead of     OOOOOO
      • Ribbon spool parameter WIDTH does not work
      • Ribbon cable width cannot be changed

      Resolution

      • Reported to R&D as SPR 2861616
      • WIDTH parameter for ribbon cables is not part of Creo Parametric functionality
      • Workaround:
      • Change ribbon spool parameter THICKNESS for the conductors appropriately
      • If necessary change Display For option from Connections to Conductors in Electrical Parameters dialog box
