Different ways to ROUTE the cables, Creo Cabling. Best practices to effectively route?

[Yogesh.T]

My Preferred way till now is to start with along axis and as it leaves connector in a desirable way, co-ordinate system. Creating intermediate locations with placement reference co-ordinate. Any of your preferred ways you feel more convenient to get perfect route as wanted and easy to modify. SEE some IMAGES ref. Please let me know. I may learn from others sent time to figure that out. Lots of trial and error t-e-t-e-t-e...   : )  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hi @Yogesh.T 

Thank you for your question. 

Your post appears well documented but has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.

Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant.

Best regards,

So when we do offsets, we offset from the CSYS of the cabling assembly itself, that way if the connector gets replaced with a different part number, we don't run into issues with missing references.

We usually start with a routed network as well, and usually it's on a skeleton part, so we can make sketches in our system for the route to follow.  For us it's easier to place points on a sketch rather than make each one an offset.

If you need any pictures or better explanations, let me know!

Yes. I do the same and it is the best practice. Thanks for that advice. 

I am looking for other different ways to route that you think are the best ways.
