Assistant (in Preserve Wiring Mode)

To access: Displayed in the Output Window when you are working in Preserve Wiring Mode and a topology edit creates a situation where a wire has no valid path.

Use this to view a list of wires that have no valid path.

Objects

Field	Description
Save to CSV	Saves the content of the tab as a comma separated variable (CSV) file. A dialog box is displayed where you specify the file name and where you want to save it.
Commit current changes	Deletes any listed wires that have no valid path (leaving any re-instated wires on the design).
Severity	Indicates that this is a warning.
Message	In the case of a wire with no valid path, this informs you of the wire, its ends and the harness to which it belongs. In the case of an unplaced splice, this informs you of the splice and the bundle where it was placed previously. You may also be informed that you must place the splice manually; a hyperlink displays to enable moving or placing the splice. Design objects that exist in the diagram are displayed as hyperlinks. Click a hyperlink to jump to that object in the Diagram Window.
Category	Indicates that this is Preserved Wiring. That is, wiring that no longer has a valid path but still exists.
Check	Indicates the type of issue that the system has detected (for example, No Valid Route or Unplaced Splice).
Design/BuildList	Indicates the design where the system has found the wire.
Object	Displays the name of the signal carried by the wire.

Usage Notes

The system re-instates a wire only into the same harness from which it was removed. If a harness name is changed during the topology edits (for example, by adding "_split"), the system does not re-instate preserved wires until you manually rename the harness. Messages in the Design Assistant indicate the name of the harness from which each wire was removed.

Tip

When rejoining harnesses split due to topology modifications, adding a bundle from a stub on the split harness (whether an _split or a newly named harness, for example, H32) to the remaining section of correctly named harness results in a single harness with the original, correct name.
