Used to add a clip to a design, either by defining a new clip part, or by associating a clip part from the library.

Objects

Field	Description
General Tab
Name	A unique label for the component (within this design). Type a name, or click the ellipsis (...) button to select a pre-specified name maintained in the project’s Object Type Information in Capital Project Manager. If this field is left blank, a default name is used, as maintained in the project’s Default Naming settings in Capital Project Manager. Optional.
Library Part	Specifies an association with a component in the library. Select the required library part number type (Internal, Customer, or Supplier) and click the ellipsis (...) button. The Part Selection Dialog Box is displayed to search for and insert a component from the library. Click the button to view details for the associated part. Click the button to remove the associated part. Optional.
Attributes	If a library part is selected, all attributes for which values can be specified against the library part are completed and set to read-only.
Assembly	Specifies the component is part of an assembly. Read-only.
BOM ID	Specifies a unique identifier to be displayed against the component in the Bill of Materials table, the Composite BOM table and in Bill of Material reports generated from Capital E/E Reporter. This attribute is only available when a library part is assigned. Optional. BOM IDs can be automatically prefixed in tables and reports based on project preferences you have configured.
Clip Mounting	Specifies the way the clip will be attached to the vehicle structure. The following types are available: Stud Mount The clip will be attached to a solid mounting on the vehicle structure. Edge Mount The clip will be attached to an exposed edge of the vehicle structure. Hole Mount The clip will be pushed through a hole drilled into the vehicle structure. Optional.
Clip Type	Specifies the way the clip will be attached to the bundle. The following types are available: Cable Tie The clip includes a self-locking plastic strap that can be fixed around a bundle. Taped The clip includes plastic extrusions that enable it to be taped into position on a bundle. Optional.
Color Code	Specifies the color of the component. Either type a color code into the field, or select a code from the dropdown list. Optional.
Color Description	Details the color code specified. Read-only.
Group Name	The Group Name to which this component belongs. Read-only.
Included On BOM	Specifies whether the component is ignored when generating a bill of materials (cleared) or included (selected). Also applies to any components associated with this one, see Included On BOM Setting. Optional.
Layer	Specifies the order of the component relative to other components with layer attributes at the same location on the bundle. Lower numbers indicate that the component is nearer the bundle wires. New layers are given numbers rounded to multiples of 10 by default; these can be overwritten. Note It is recommended that sufficient interval is left between layers for you to insert subsequent layers without renumbering. You can give multiple objects the same layer number, or specify 0 to not consider the order of the component. Optional. See also Component Graphic and Layer Order Matching.
Material Code	Specifies the material from which the component is made. Select a material code from the dropdown list. Optional.
Material Description	Details the material code specified. Read-only.
MCad ID	If the harness was bridged in from another application (such as Capital Harness Classic or an MCAD application), this field displays the component's unique identifier as derived from the external data. Read-only.
Offset Clip	Specifies whether the clip is mounted against the bundle (cleared) or whether the mounting aligns the clip adjacent to the bundle (selected). Optional.
Orientation	Specifies an orientation value for the component, used in styling to dynamically select an appropriate clocking symbol to be displayed. See the Diagram Styling User Guide for more information on conditionally displaying content based on a component attribute. Optional.
Part Description	Provides a description of the part. Read-only.
Part Revision	The revision number of the library component part. See also “Library Part Revision” in the Capital Component Manager User Guide.
Type Code	Offers a list of component type codes, as maintained in Capital Component Manager, used to filter the selection of components displayed when searching using the Part Selection Dialog Box. Optional.
Type Description	Details the type code specified. Read-only.
Unit of Measure	Details the unit of measurement used. Read-only.
View From Node	This field displays the “View From Direction” attribute, if one has been defined for the object. Otherwise, the attribute value is shown as blank. Read-only.
Weight	The weight of the component. Read-only.
Show All Attributes	Toggles the display of editable / non-editable attributes. Selected by default. Optional.
Option Expression	Specifies the derivatives in which the component exists. To create or edit an option expression, click the ellipsis (...) button and use the Edit Option Expression Dialog Box. Alternatively, you can enter or modify an option expression directly within the field. Optional.
User FM Codes	(This field is only available for Capital Harness Designer Modular see “User/Generated FM/PM Fields”)
Generated FM Codes	(This field is only available for Capital Harness Designer Modular see “User/Generated FM/PM Fields”)
User PM Codes	(This field is only available for Capital Harness Designer Modular see “User/Generated FM/PM Fields”)
Generated PM Codes	(This field is only available for Capital Harness Designer Modular see “User/Generated FM/PM Fields”)
Properties Tab	See Properties Tab Dialog Box.
Additional Components Tab	See Additional Components Tab Dialog Box.

Usage Notes

If a library part is selected, all attributes for which values can be specified against the library part are completed and set to read-only.
