Harness View Attributes

Cables: Edit Cabling Properties Harness View Attributes

The Harness View Attributes dialog box enables the user to control the appearance of the following objects inside the Main View:

• Nodes

• Segments

• Connectors

• Fixing

Nodes

By selecting Nodes on the left side of the dialog box all parameters to control the appearance of the Nodes will be provided:

• Node Color: allows the color definition of all nodes beside splice nodes (Defining a new Route).

• Splice Node Color: defines the color of splice nodes (Adding a stub to a Route).

• Grounded Node Color: defines the color of the grounded nodes (Editing an existing Route).

• Node Size: defines the visualization size of all nodes.

• Nodes Visible: defines whether the nodes shall be visualized or not

• Selectable: defines if the nodes shall be selectable in the Main View

• Label Visible: defines whether the node labels shall be visualized or not

If the  Auto adjust element size check button is activated the parameter Node Size will be set to its default: After de-activating this parameter can be set manually.

Segments

By selecting Segments on the left side of the dialog box all parameters to control the appearance of the Segments will be provided:

• Segment Color: allows the color definition of the segments (Edit a selected segment)

• Loaded segment color: allows the color definition of the loaded segments (Editing an existing Route)

• Segment Maximum Size: the visualized diameter of the segments is related to the number of cables inside the segment. With the help of this value one defines the upper limit for all segments.

• Segment Minimum Size: the visualized diameter of the segments is related to the number of cables inside the segment. With the help of this value one defines the lower limit for all segments.

• Segments Visible: defines whether the segments shall be visualized or not

• Selectable: defines if the segments shall be selectable in the Main View

• Label Visible: defines whether the segment labels shall be visualized or not

If the  Auto adjust element size check button is activated the parameters Segment Maximum  Size and Segment Minimum Size will be set to its default: After de-activating these parameters can be set manually.

Connectors

By selecting Connectors on the left side of the dialog box all parameters to control the appearance of the Connectors will be provided:

• Connector Color: allows the color definition of the connectors

• Connector Maximum Size: the visualized size of the connectors is related to the number of pins on the connector.

• Connector Minimum Size: the visualized size of the connectors is related to the number of pins on the connector.

• Ratio Width : Height : Length: all connectors are shown as a box. The field defines the ratio of width, height and length of  the boxes

• Connectors Visible: defines whether the connectors shall be visualized or not

• Selectable: defines if the connectors shall be selectable in the Main View

• Label Visible: defines whether the connector labels shall be visualized or not

If the  Auto adjust element size check button is activated the parameters Connector Maximum  Size and Connector Minimum Size will be set to its default: After de-activating these parameters can be set manually.

Fixings

A Fixing is a special object that can not be defined manually. These objects does not have any electrical meaning but define the spots where a cable harness is fixed to the chassis. They might be imported during the harness import if defined inside the STEP AP2.12- kbl-file by a special CAE system (Cable Data Import).

By selecting Fixings on the left side of the dialog box all parameters to control the appearance of the Fixings will be provided:

• Fixing Color: allows the color definition of the fixings

• Fixing Size: defines the size for all fixings.

• Fixing Visible: defines whether the fixings shall be visualized or not

• Selectable: defines if the fixings shall be selectable in the Main View

• Label Visible: defines whether the fixing labels shall be visualized or not

If the  Auto adjust element size check button is activated the parameter Fixing Size will be set to its default: After de-activating this parameter can be set manually.
