Why there is Wire option when Cable is more powerful and can be even used as Cable?

[Yogesh.T]

Why there is even wire create option ? I cannot follow a second wire along with the first created wire. !. CABLE does it much better and flexible. So what is the advantage/ Vs / when to use. between both?

Thanks Advance! PL enlighten me with your thoughts.

I think you're looking for the network option.  You should probably route on a network.

The cable feature is for when you have multiple wires/conuctors within a sheath, and want the sheath to be displayed.

Great information but unfortunately does not answer my need in simple words...:) . I am not that far yet with cabling  to deal with network : ). That would be next step. Do you have a place to get indeep with network . Like tutorial or examples to learn from on ptc university. THANKS!

IDK if PTC univeristy is down, or we no longer I have it, but I can't access it at the moment.  I'm happy to try to explain in more detail with links to the relevant PTC instructions.  Hopefully the below is a bit more clear!

1) Designate your connectors with one or several Entry ports.  You can see one we set up below. (https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/electrical_design/cable/designating_connectors.html)

2) Create a sketch, or sketches of where you want the wires to go.

3) Create a network, and select points along the sketches. (https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/electrical_design/cable/using_networks_to_route_cables.html#)

4) Create and route a wire.  It should automatically just follow the network you laid out. (https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/electrical_design/cable/About_Routing_Cables.html#)

5) Create a bundle using two of the network locations, and include the wires you want inside of that bundle. (https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/electrical_design/cable/To_Bundle_Existing_Cables.html#)

Hopefully this helps.  If you need clarity on any of the specific steps, let me know!
