Wiring Browser (Capital Navigator)

The Wiring Browser (Wiring tab) is displayed in the Capital navigator window. It lists all harness objects present on the associated Capital Logic Designer designs, grouped into folders by object type (wires, multicores, devices, connectors, and inlines).

Field	Description
Associate Wiring Designs	Displays the Associate Wiring Designs dialog box to associate Capital Logic Designer wiring designs with the 3D electrical context. See Wiring Design Association in 3D Electrical Design.
Show Routing Assistant	Opens the Routing Assistant. If wires are selected, this button runs the assistant. If no wires are selected, the Routing Assistant opens empty. See Routing Assistant in 3D Electrical Design.
Set Rules and Constraints	Displays the Edit Design Properties dialog box where you can set rules and constraints for the 3D electrical context. See 3D Separation Constraints in 3D Electrical Design.
Associate Signals by Attribute or Property	Displays the Associate Signals By Attribute or Property dialog box to group wires into topology signals. See Grouping Wires into Signals in the Capital Wiring Integrator chapter of the Capital Logic Designer User Guide.
Open Output Window	Opens the Capital Output Window. See 3D Electrical Design Interface in Designcenter NX.
Refresh Wiring	Synchronizes changes in the associated Capital Logic Designer designs with the 3D electrical context. See Project Based 3D Electrical Context for an explanation of this concept or Synchronizing Wiring Changes with the 3D Electrical Context for process details. When is displayed, the 3D electrical context and the associated Capital Logic Designer designs have become out-of-sync and you must synchronize them again.
Tree	It lists all harness objects present on the associated Capital Logic Designer designs, grouped into folders by object type (wires, multicores, devices, connectors, and inlines). To highlight an object in the Graphics window, select it in the browser tree. If an object is not associated with an object in the 3D electrical context, it is dimmed. After an association is made, the object is available. To select an object, navigate through the folder structure, and then select the object name: If an association with a topology object exists, the selected object is highlighted in the 3D electrical context diagram. Each object entry in the Wiring Browser offers all of the right‑click options available to the object on the diagram. You can hover over a device to display a tooltip to identify which Capital Logic Designer design includes the device.
Enter Filter String box	Enter a series of characters. A filter is applied to the Wiring Browser so that only objects with names containing that series of characters are listed. The behavior of the filter varies depending on whether you use wildcards and the case (upper or lower) of the specified characters. See also “Browser Tab and Dialog Box Filters” in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide.
Show all objects / Show remaining objects / Show completed objects	Show all objects All harness objects present on the associated Capital Logic Designer designs are displayed in the Wiring Browser. Show remaining objects Only harness objects that are not yet associated with an object in the 3D electrical context are displayed in the Wiring Browser. Show completed objects Only harness objects that are associated with a an object in the 3D electrical context are displayed in the Wiring Browser.
