To access: In the Designcenter NX environment, click the Project command on the ribbon bar. In the CATIA V5 environment, click the Change Project command on the Capital Workbench. Alternatively in either environment, click Select Project in the Capital navigator window.
After 3D Electrical Design has been launched in the MCAD environment, you must select the Capital electrical project that you want to use. This provides the context that associates the mechanical content (the 3D harness content) with the wiring connectivity (Capital designs).
