There is a "copy harness" feature.
In WF5 it is located under Edit>Harness>Copy Harness.
However, there are prerequisite to use it : your harness part needs to be "electrified".
This means having designated connectors 'tools>designate) and having all cables attached to the designated port (the from/to locations).
The reason for this prerequisite is that Harness parts are tighly linked to the assembly containing them. It cannot be seperated from it's context. So when doing the copy, the system will ask you for corresponding electrified components in the destination context. After the copy is completed, the harness part will look indentical to the original one....but it will be entirely defined with logical link towards the new context you picked.
But if you ask me, I think it's a little "too much" since many people whats to use Creo/Cabling without complete electrification...
If it's your case, here are a few options :
1) Save a copy of the cabling assembly. It will drag the harness part along you can make your new design.
2) Make a neutral file (step or iges). It's an appropriate solution if you don't mind about the logic of the model
3) Make a neutral file of only the central line...this way you can use it to "redraw" over the same path while adding difference where needed.
3) If the harness part you want to copy was designed around a skeleton....which not just reusing the same skeleton file ? Depending on the level of detail, this can be a very good solution.
And familly tables...well....I think familly are good in plenty of things... but NOT to manage harness.
I hope this helps
