Cabling Vs Advance Sweep
I think Advance sweep features are powerful and well controlled compared to cabling. Having said that, why was Cabling application created. All features could have been added to sweep feature menu. Mainly I think it is just the flattening of harness. why to make it so complex instead keeping it simple with advance sweep and curves?

Here is my 2 cents...
For us the most important parts of the Cabling application are
a) The schematic input. Meaning the logical connection and cable + connector selection (file that is read into the Cabling module).
b) The flat diagram output + BOM for the manufacturer to make the harness for us. The flat diagram below is actually created from the schematic above (the top level schematic only shown).
So the intermediate part (routing)
is just to check that everything fits and to get the lengths for the cables and wires. It could be done by sweeps, curves, lines or what ever but the current way of creating route networks seems to work well for us also. But I believe the Cabling module is currently the only way in Creo to get us from a to b...

Hi Lars,
Great analysis and reply . Some points to make:
So Creo can generate schematic from 3D cabling? I didn't know that.
Also I am not happy with the way it flattened the cable, but may be that is the right way what it is and technically correct.
Looking at your reply it seems that it is worth lot more that 2 cents :). THANKS for your thoughts.
Is there a tutorial that I can use to slowly come to your level of expertise? That will be good . Appreciate.

Within PTC, you can purchase training thru the learning connector/PTC University
https://learningconnector.ptc.com/discovery
https://www.ptc.com/en/ptc-university
There are 3rd party training options I found searching google for Creo harness training and Creo cabling training.
It also looks like there are some youtube videos.
I haven't done any cabling/harness training.
