Creating Bundles and Harnesses
Importing Modified Data for an Existing Harness in a Design
You can use Capital Systems Integrator Harness Exchange functionality to import the modified data (in XML format) for an existing harness in a design.
Restrictions and Limitations
The Import Harness action does not support specialized connectors.
Procedure
In the Design Browser (Design tab), right-click the harness for which you are importing data and choose Import Harness; the Import Harness dialog box displays.
Navigate to the location where the XML file is saved and select it.Note You have the option of importing an XML file from a harness set ZIP file.
Specify whether you want to Run Harness Transfer DRCs. If you select this, the import runs all design rule checks set to run in Harness Transfer mode and indicates any issues.Note You can view and edit the design rule checks set to run in Harness Transfer mode in the Project Preferences.
Click Import; the imported harness data overwrites the existing harness.
