Depopulating Wiring from Active Harness Levels

When wiring is copied from one harness level to another, this can result in there being unnecessary wires and splices in the routing for a harness level. The Depopulate Wiring function allows you to remove unnecessary wiring from the currently active harness levels.

Procedure

1. Set the harness levels that you want to depopulate to active. You can do this either by setting the active harness level for each individual harness (see Active Harness Level) or by setting a vehicle configuration to active (see Setting an Active Vehicle Configuration).

2. Press Space Bar and enter Depopulate Wiring.

3. A list of wires and splices that the system considers unnecessary display. Note If there are no wires that the system considers unnecessary, a message displays indicating that there is nothing to do. All ground-to-ground connections made using the Add Wire dialog box are listed in the Depopulate Wiring dialog box because they are surplus to the wiring required by the functional data. If you depopulate all wiring (from all levels) of a ground-connecting signal, this deletes the signal as well.

Check the Depop box for the wires and splices that you want to remove and click the OK button.
