Creating Bundles and Harnesses

Importing the Data for a New

Harness into a Design and Mating a Connector

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 and mate one of its unmated connectors with an unmated connector already in the design.

Restrictions and Limitations

The Import Harness action does not support specialized connectors.

Procedure

Right-click the unmated connector in the diagram and choose Import Anchored 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 system looks at the incoming harness data to find any connectors that could mate with the selected connector in the diagram.If there is only one eligible connector, the harness is placed and that connector is mated with the connector in the diagram. If there are multiple eligible connectors, the Import Harness dialog box displays a list of them. Select the connector that you want to mate with the connector in the diagram and click OK; the harness is then placed in the diagram and the connectors are mated.

Results

If there are any issues, they display on the Harness Import tab of the Output Window.
