When I route some wires to the same connector, the wires overlap and interfere with each other. Is there a simple way to fix this? Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. The black wires interfere with the yellow wires.
Hi August...
There's some minor tweaks you can do to make this kind of interference less noticeable. However, you're never going to eliminate it. I answered another one of your questions and this is a bit of a repeat. Basically, you're asking too much of the software. At this point, Creo Cabling does not do "real world physics". It's concerned with the connections between electrical components and the overall routing of wires. It's not trying to make sure that two wires aren't interfering at all locations along the way.
Basically, the only place that the geometry is exact is precisely at the "node points". If you set your cables to "thin", you'll see this dots along the routing path. These are node points. If you were to cut a cross section through the cable bundle at this point, you'd see absolutely NO interference whatsoever. But between those points, the software is performing a type of interpolation. It's sort of taking a best guess. In those "in-between" places, you may see some interference such as what you've demonstrated in your screengrab.
There are a few ways to handle this issue. The best is the first on the list:
I'm sure none of these options gives you the answer you were hoping for, you can still create some very impressive and useful cable routing using Creo Cabling. Try using the Ninja Cabling techniques posted in PTC Community to route cables faster and with less hassle. Hopefully this has been a help... but if not, please write back and let me know. I'm happy to help... provided the government shutdown lasts a few more days!
Thanks...
