About the Documentation Generation Process

As it is used to share information, the documentation is a simplified representation of the harness.

Therefore, the dimensions and the layout structure are less precise in the generated documents. This allows to generate a documentation that fits in a single sheet.

To generate scaled content that fits aesthetically in one sheet, you need to:

• Set options in the Documentation tab
• Customize your GVS file
• Assign resources in Data Setup

The scaling factor for generated 2D drawing is a whole number.

The documentation generation process groups in one automatic process all the steps required to generate the harness documentation.

The Documentation process panel is the interface which allows you to follow the automatic generation of the harness documentation. In the Documentation process panel, under Processes, the buttons corresponding to the steps performed during the generation of the documentation are displayed.

During the generation process, icon appears for each step to indicate the status of a step:

Color	Description
	Process in progress
	Process successfully completed
	Process completed with warning
	Error during step

At the completion of the process, the Documentation process panel is displayed in the tab of the harness data. It is impossible to close the panel while a step is on-going.

At the end of the process, two documents are generated:

• A scaled layout of the flattened harness with annotations
• A drafting of the flattened harness
