Changing a cable route's End To location

Charles421SD — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 13:34:37 GMT

I am using Creo 10 to create cable routing. I have a cable I'd like to edit its "To" location, but I cannot figure out how to delete or edit the current one. Everything else, locations and "From" locations are fine and there is no need for edit. Is there a way to do this before I delete and rerun?

Use REROUTE. Right click on cable (reroute). See image. Hope it helps.

Go into the parameters of the wire (right click in the model tree and click on parameters) and then click flip cable ends.

EDIT: I misread your post. You can do the following.
1) Select the end you want to change.
2) Select a different connector.

3) Pick and entry port.
4) Okay.

Thank you. Your solution was what I was shooting for, but my "From" and "To" fields are grayed out and inactive. I have since rerouted the cables as they were not too labor intensive, but I'd like to understand more efficient options in the future. Can you share your thoughts on why my two fields would not be active?

Thank you.

That's super weird. They were to/from designated connectors?

I don't know why it didn't work the first few times I tried, but I went back and tried it once more and it worked. Thank you very much. I may not have had the correct Harness selected under the Modify Harness Menu Manager.
