Insert a Splice
In this exercise you create the splice at an arbitrary location, and then add
two wires to the splice.
1 In the browser, double-click Harness Assembly1.
2 Create a Generic 22AWG-GRN wire from U7 Pin 3 on Connector 360575:1
to J12 Pin 2 on LTP:1.
3 Create another Generic 22AWG-GRN wire from U7 Pin 5 on connector
360575:1 to J12 Pin 2 on LTP:1, and then click OK. The new wires are
shown in the following image.
4 On the Cable and Harness panel bar, click the Create Splice tool.
5 On the Create Splice dialog box, accept the defaults.
You can accept or change the default RefDes, accept the default splice,
or select a custom splice from the library. You can also click Properties
to view and change existing custom properties or add your own.
6 Click the Select Location tool, if not already selected.
A green circle that represents the splice is attached to the cursor. A line
representing the offset distance extends from the splice object.
NOTE To change the offset right-click again, select Edit Offset, and then
enter a value. The default offset is set on the Splice tab of the Harness Settings
dialog box.
