Objects

Field	Description
General Tab
Name	A unique label for the component (within this design). Type a name, or click the ellipsis (...) button to the right of the field to select from a list of pre-specified component names maintained in the project’s Object Type Information in Capital Project Manager. If this field is left blank, the component is named according to any default names configured for the project 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Option	Specifies the derivatives in which the component exists. To create or edit an option expression, click the ellipsis (...) button to 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”)
