CS 7.0 Shield port / Drain wire Unterminated (Not connected) type on Cable Decoration need more info

[Ramesh_Mani]

Our requirement on the shield port/drain wire is assigned to multiconductor cable. Both sides of the cable is connected but the shield port/drain wire is terminated (connected) at one end of connector and unterminated (not connected/open) at the other end of connector. Once the unterminated shield wire is defined in schematics, it needs to be exported into XML and use it parametrically in the harness drawing without doing any additional manual work in the Creo cabling.

What is the best possible solution to have a shield port/drain wire as Unterminated.

We use CS 7.0 and there is a document available in PTC website. But the info is not sufficient for us to define and use the shield port/drain wire as Unterminated parametrically.

Any additional information or videos can really help the users to understand better.

Yes more information is needed but from looking at your pic the diagram on the right would be your Schematics?

If so the Drain Wire shouldn't be running the length of your cable, it should be coming out of the Ports on your Cable Decoration. Then you can connect one end and leave the other end NC (Not Connected).
