Creating Bundles and Harnesses

Importing the Data for a New Harness into a Design

You can use Capital Systems Integrator Harness Exchange functionality to import the data (in XML format) for a harness that does not yet exist in a design.

Restrictions and Limitations

The Import Harness action does not support specialized connectors.

Procedure

Press Space Bar and enter Import Harness; the Import Harness dialog box displays.
Navigate to the location where the XML file is saved and select it.
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 harness is imported.

Results

If there are any issues, they display on the Harness Import tab of the Output Window.
If nothing on the imported harness exists on the diagram, it is placed as close as possible to the position it had in its source diagram.
If a connector or hole exists both on the harness and on the diagram, the harness is placed so that it connects to the connector or hole on the diagram.
If an inline exists on multiple harnesses, when the first harness with the inline is imported, the inline is placed (with the rest of the harness) on the diagram. When any other harnesses with that inline are imported, the inline already exists in the diagram and the harnesses are connected to it.
