Module Code Management

Sharing Wires

Between Modules

You can share wires with a particular option expression between modules. Wires which are shared between two modules are contained within both modules when processed in Capital Harness Designer. Therefore, the modules should normally be marked as exclusive.

Procedure

Click the Configuration Setting Browser Window (Configuration tab) on the left of the application window and choose Module from the drop-down Mode list; the browser window on the tab lists the harnesses in the design.
Select the harness(es) for which you want to edit modules and click the Manage module codes for selected harnesses () button; the browser tree expands below each selected harness to display the modules that you have created for the wires in them. It also displays the wires in those modules. See the Browser Window (Module) section of Configuration Setting Browser Window (Configuration Tab) for full details of its contents.
Either:In the browser window, select the option expression sub-folder containing the wiring that you want to share. Hold down the CRTL key on your keyboard, drag the sub-folder and drop it on top of the module with which you want to share it.

In the browser window, right-click the option expression sub-folder to be shared and choose Share Wiring > [Other module] or ... Note If you choose ..., the Select a Module Dialog Box dialog box displays where you can select the module with which to share the wiring.

Results

The option expression sub-folder and its wires remain under the original module but are also added under the other module. This indicates that those wires are now included in both modules.
The option expression on the wires does not change.
If you hold your mouse cursor over one of the wires in the browser window, a tool-tip displays details for it. The Module Code(s) item lists both module codes separated by /.
