Overview of Capital E/E Publisher

Capital E/E Publisher is a service documentation preparation and generation tool. It allows documentation engineers to repurpose logical schematics, wiring designs, and harness designs for service documentation without the risk of inadvertently altering the engineering data.

Capital E/E Publisher provides a dedicated environment in which to organize and arrange design objects to suit the needs of service technicians, and in which to embellish designs with service-specific comments and data. The designs can then be combined with external data such as component location diagrams, diagnostic fault code lists, and training videos, allowing documentation engineers to publish service documentation as a single, integrated package with an easy-to-use interface which can significantly reduce the time, effort, and associated costs of troubleshooting wiring systems.

Capital E/E Publisher can also be used for the generation of Smart Flow (work flow) packages that guide technicians through repair procedures.

Within Capital E/E Publisher you can:

• Organize logical schematics, wiring designs, and harness designs into diagrams for service documentation.
• Rename, hide, or reveal parts, cable names, properties, and symbols.
• Add comment graphics.
• Add tables of service-specific data.
• Back-annotate as-manufactured details onto designs.
• Edit the style set of each design individually or of all the designs within a project.
• Add or edit design borders.

With harness designs specifically you can also:

• Move, rotate, and stretch bundles without changing their physical length.
• Move connectors with cavity management deactivated without removing them from their assigned node.
• Move symbols/nodes such as splices, clips, and grommets along their bundle without changing their physical position.
• Add additional harness dimension data such as reference dimensions and axial dimensions.

Query and Generate a Design and Diagrams

Capital Schematic Generator for Logic Designer functionality can be used within Capital E/E Publisher to generate a single design and its diagrams for filtered logical connectivity from multiple designs in a project.

(Note: the remainder of this topic continues into diagram generation and documentation-output details covered in later chapters — see "Generating Documentation in Capital E/E Publisher" and "Capital Schematic Generator for Logic Designer".)
