Linking Wires or Cables to a Cable

You can structure a group of wires and cables by linking them to a cable.

This structure is displayed in the tree, under the logical reference, in the Electrical > Wires node.

Before you begin:
  • Create a logical reference (Electrical System).
  • Create a cable (Cable1).
  • Define two wires (Wire1 and Wire2).

In this scenario, you insert Wire1 and Wire2 under Cable1, then remove Wire2 from Cable1.

  1. From the Edition section of the action bar, click Cable Links .
  2. Select a wire (Wire1) and then select the cable Cable1.

    Important: A wire or a cable already inserted under another cable cannot be selected.

    The wire Wire1 is inserted under the cable Cable1.
  3. Click Cable Links to deactivate the command.
  4. To insert the second wire (Wire2), click Cable Links and select the cable (Cable1).

    Note: You can also select Wire1 instead of Cable1 since it is a member of Cable1.

    Wire2 is now inserted under Cable1. Under the logical reference (Electrical System), the Electrical > Wires node displays this new hierarchy.

    You can now remove Wire2 from Cable1.

  5. Select the second wire (Wire2).
    From the Electrical > Wires node, Wire2 is removed from Cable1. It is now positioned at the same level as Cable1.

  6. Click Cable Links to deactivate the command.
