  1. Activate the diagram view.
  2. From the Edition section of the action bar, click Create New Reference .
  3. In the tree or in the diagram view, select a parent component for your cable group (Electrical System).
    Tip: You can select a logical component before or after selecting the command.

    • An Extensions node is created to store all electrical objects. In our example, it aggregates a Wire node containing the extended electrical component (Cable Group 1).


    In the active diagram view, the Route Command dialog box appears. You can route your cable group or close the Route Command dialog box. For more information about routing cable groups, see Routing Cables.
