Composite Data Management > Vehicle Configuration

Setting

an Active Vehicle Configuration

If you have defined a vehicle configuration, you can set it to active. If a configuration is active, you can synthesize the wiring just for the harness levels defined in the configuration. You can also view whether signals are Routed, Unrouted or Unconnected in the Design Browser (Design tab) and depopulate wires that are not required in the configuration.

Procedure

You can do one of the following:

Press Space Bar and enter Configurations, check the Set as Active box for the configuration that you want to be active and click the OK button.
Press Space Bar and enter Configuration Builder, check the box next to the configuration that you want to be active and click the OK button.
Check the box next to the vehicle configuration in the Configuration Setting Browser Window (Configuration tab).

Results

In all cases, the details for the active vehicle configuration display on the Active tab at the bottom of the Configuration Setting Browser Window and the boxes for the vehicle configuration and any harness levels used in the vehicle configuration are checked in the tree in the Configuration Setting Browser Window.

Note

When you set a vehicle configuration to active, the signals displayed in the Design Browser (Design tab) are Routed, Unrouted or Unconnected depending on any routing activity that you have performed for the vehicle configuration already.
