Flow for Importing Carry-Over Wiring

There is a particular flow for importing carry-over wiring.

Create an empty Capital Systems Integrator design and diagram. You must have defined any options required by the wiring in the project. The diagram can have a skeleton.
Import the carry-over wiring for a harness in X2ML format, specifying scaling and how to map wires to signals. A new harness is created in the design and diagram.
Import any other required carry-over wiring for other harnesses. Again, the harnesses are created in the design and diagram. During the import, you place the harnesses in the diagram.
Merge the harnesses at inline connectors by mating interface connectors. At this point, you have a Capital Systems Integrator design with wiring but no associated system designs from Capital Logic Designer.
If you want to incorporate a new system into the imported wiring: Create a system design in Capital Logic Designer.

Associate the system design with the Capital Systems Integrator design.

Place the new devices in slots and connect them to the topology as required.

If you need to modify an existing, imported device to add connections to new signals: Create a system design that contains the existing devices that need to be changed as well as any new devices.

In the system design, for any existing signals, create dangling nets connected to the existing device in the system design. The nets merge with imported signals in Capital Systems Integrator, so should be named accordingly.

In the system design, for any new signals, create nets that connect the devices as for a normal system design.

Associate the system design with the Capital Systems Integrator design. Note that the objects in the system design should be tagged with any required options.

Place the existing and new devices in slots in Capital Systems Integrator.

You now have two representations of the existing device: a device in a slot and an interface connector (created during the harness import). Merge them by dragging the interface connector over the slot. The interface connector is removed, its bundle is connected to the slot connector and the wiring connects to the slot connector. The system considers existing signals fully routed and connects them to the device. However, the system considers new signals unrouted and connects them to new cavities.

If required, define new harness levels. Note If the X2ML file for a harness contains no derivatives, the system creates a single harness level containing all options on import. It associates all wires with this harness level. If the file contains one or more derivatives, the system imports them as harness levels and associates wires with the appropriate ones.
Synthesize new wiring. Wiring synthesis creates wiring for new signals but does not modify the wiring for any imported, fully routed signals. In some cases, it may add a wire into an existing signal (for example where a new device has a connection to an existing signal). Caution As a general rule, you should not delete existing wiring. However, you may want to do this if you make large changes to a signal. Delete the wiring only after associating a system design containing the signal. The system automatically associates signals from the system design with signals of the same name in the Capital Systems Integrator design. If you delete existing wiring that was imported as a multicore, without associating the imported signals with ones from a system design, wiring synthesis does not recreate the wires as a multicore. It creates them as normal wires. In this case, the system does not synthesize shield signals at all.
