Design Browser (Capital

Wiring Integrator)

The Design tab located on the lower-left side of the application window, is displayed when a topology diagram is active in the Diagram window. It lists all topological and harness objects present on the topology diagram, grouped into folders by object type.

Field	Description
Associate Wiring Designs ()	Displays the Associate Wiring Designs Dialog Box to associated Capital Logic Designer wiring designs with the topology diagram. See Logical Design Association.
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.
Set Rules and Constraints ()	Displays the Edit Properties: Diagram Dialog Box to set rule and constraints for the topology diagram. See Setting Constraints for an Entire Topology Diagram.
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.
Refresh Wiring () ()	Synchronizes changes in the associated Capital Logic Designer designs with the Capital Wiring Integrator design. See Synchronizing Wiring Changes With a Capital Wiring Integrator Design. When is displayed, the topology and the associated Capital Logic Designer designs have become out-of-sync and you must synchronize them again. This may be triggered by manually placing or unplacing devices and renaming objects in the topology.
Tree	Lists all topological and harness objects present on the diagram, grouped into nodes by object type. To highlight an object in the Diagram window, select the object in the browser tree. Each object entry in the Design Browser offers all of the right‑click options available to the object on the diagram. Hover over a wire to display a tooltip that indicates the start and end point (device, connector, pin) and the topology signal under which it is grouped. The Routed node contains two further nodes: Unassigned and Signals. When wires have been routed along the bundles in the topology diagram, the routed wires are displayed under the Unassigned node or, if grouped into Signals, under the Signals node. The Unrouted node contains wires and multicores that terminate at an object that is not associated with an object from the Capital Logic Design designs (for example, a newly added inline pair). Unrouted multicores from overbraids are listed here also. If an object under the Unrouted node is partially routed, an orange circular arrow displays on its icon (for example, ). Multicores that are shared in Capital Logic Designer have a shared object icon () under the Unrouted node. When they are routed and move under the Routed node, they no longer have a shared object icon ().
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 active diagram objects / Show harnesses only / Show routing only	You can choose a filter for the Design Browser: Show all objects Shows all objects in the design. Show active diagram objects Shows only objects in the currently active diagram. Show harnesses only Shows only the Harnesses node and the harnesses inside it. Show routing only Shows only the Routed and Unrouted nodes with the nodes and objects inside them.

Tip

You can press Space Bar and enter Toggle Browser Area to show / hide the Wiring Browser (and the Project Browser window).
