Hi Ayman,

Please elaborate on what exactly you are trying to add.  Is this for a cabling or piping assembly?  Are you trying to model the entry port, i.e. create geometry?

The entry ports on cabling or piping assemblies are designated by coordinate systems - CSYS.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Amit,

So I downloaded a step file for a connector I am using in my design. But it doesnt seem to have any entry ports because when I try to do my harness routing i cannot find any port to route to.

Thank you

So you should be able to create coordinate systems and designate them as Entry Ports.  I would suggest you go to the Help Center and type Entry Port in the Search.  You will find detailed information there.
