Hi All,
Is it possible to have the entire cable to display its colour in Creo Cable? at the moment only the first say 20 mm is coloured, the rest of the cable is grey.
Cheers!
Hi Carl,
Can you add an image of what you are seeing? You should be able to see the entire cable in the color that was designated to it.
Thanks,
Amit
Hi,
upload your data, if you can.

Hi,
unfortunately picture is not sufficient information.
Please create and upload testing Creo data.

Hi,
What information should I Upload?
Hi,
please upload small sample assembly with small sample cabling.

Hi Carl,
If I had to guess, I'd say you're autorouting and your network stops right where the color stops, right? This is because the cable is routing to the end of the network and beyond this, you have individual conductors. You're getting color on the conductors but not on the cable portion. Have you set colors on the cable itself or just the individual conductors? First, make sure your colors are applied to the cable, not just the underlying conductors.
Actually, a quick glance also shows a "." in the name of your cable spools. I haven't tried that before but having that DOT may be causing an issue? If applying color to the cable (which will color the jacket) doesn't work, try changing up the names of the cable spools to eliminate the dot. That may not have anything to do with it - but I have never seen a dot in a cable spool name before. Maybe it's just fine and I have always avoided them for no reason!
Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks!

Hi,
I can not see in the spool where the colour is for the cable? Only for the conductor?
Where is the name of the spool shown?
Many Thanks!
Carl
Also, How do I get to the cable colours, I can only see whats in the Two spool pictures above.
Many thanks,
Carl
Hi Carl...
Okay I took a deeper look. I have some questions:
To add COLOR (or any other parameter if it is not being displayed)...
See below to locate the View-->Columns command...
Hopefully that gets you a bit farther.
Thanks!

Hi,
Top man!
The schematic data is coming from Zuken E3 as an xml file. they should all be single wires, not sure why they are showing cables.
Yeah, this is the problem. Your wires are coming across as a cable with a single conductor rather than a wire. If they were just wires, the color would be working just fine. To solve the problem, I think someone on the ZUKEN end needs to change the way those conductors are created.
Thanks and good luck!
