Exporting

a Harness from a Design

You can use Capital Systems Integrator Harness Exchange functionality to export a harness in XML format from a design.

Procedure

  1. Right-click on the harness in the Design Browser (Design tab), and choose Export Harness; the Export Harness dialog box displays.

  2. Navigate to the location where you want to save the XML file and specify a name for it. Click Export; the XML file is created and saved in that location.

Results

  • The XML file contains the topology information for the harness, placement information, all of the harness levels and all of the wiring data for that harness.

  • The exported file contains details of the diagrams on which the diagram objects exist. When imported, the system returns the objects to each diagram if they exist or creates the diagrams as required.
