Ribbon cable modeling

[Carlos.Castillo]

Hello, everyone:

I am trying to model a coloured ribbon cable 24AWG (8 conductors), and my question is: can I modify the pitch between conductors? Right now i have .2 mm between conductors centerlines... but my connector has 2.54 mm pitch. So i would need my ribbon cable to be the same 2.54 mm pitch. Can I do this in CREO? I would appreciate your support.
