A unique pin name on the first pin.PIN1
A unique identifier on the second connector or splice
occurrence.
REFDES2
A unique pin name on the second pin.PIN2
Additional wire or cable occurrence properties can be imported on an
object-by-object basis after the required input parameters. The corresponding
data type and unit for each custom property added must be listed in the
associated configuration file.
NOTE The electrical part RefDes value is only recognized by the Import Harness
Data function when it is set at the occurrence level. Any RefDes values set in the
part file are not used.
XML File Formats
An XML schema is used to describe the format of .xml files used to import and
export data for a harness. The schema describes most of the data model of the
Cable & Harness application for a single harness. Ribbon cables are not
included.
See the Cable & Harness Help for more details on the .xml schema. In the
Index, search for and select XML files, and then select “Harness data XML file
schema reference.”
Review Harness Data
Electrical parts and pins and their RefDes must exist in the assembly before
importing harness data. To ensure that the import is not interrupted due to
missing parts, use Review Electrical Parts from the Cable & Harness toolbar to
generate a list of all the electrical parts that are defined in the import file,
along with any missing RefDes information. An error condition icon is
displayed for any electrical part that does not have a RefDes in the assembly.
NOTE If file or format errors exist that prevent the file from importing, the Import
Harness Data message dialog box is displayed with a description of the issue. If
errors exist, but the file still imports, click View Log for details.
