I was able to import the XML from Creo Schematics and autoroute my harness, however, the spools imported by the XML are locked and I'm not able to edit them in Creo. i.e. if I want to change the bend radius or the color or any other parameter in the spool, the spool it's locked.
Image on left shows the locked icon and image on right shows unlocked spool

Hi ,
in order to edit spools which came from XML , you need to use the config option allow_logical_spool_editing ;
the idea is :
if somone set spool parameters in Creo Schematics , it was done from a reason ( and assuming these values are according to manufacture specs).
the correct workflow should be to update schematics and import again so both logical (schematics) and mechanical (Cabling) designs will be aligned with same values.
best regards .
Take a look - "Objects are locked in creo": https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/objects-are-locked-in-creo/td-p/934026
Thanks @VladimirN but it's not that kind of lock I'm experiencing. It's a spool in cabling. See images I uploaded on initial post.
