Nailboard Features
With the nailboard tools, you can:
■ Create an accurate, associative 2D representation of a 3D harness.
■ Set default display for segments.
■ Set default display and distribution for cable wire stubs and wire stubs.
■ Set default style, offset, orientation, and scale for connector views.
■ Set whether to show or hide looms and labels. (If looms are shown, wires,
cables, and segments to which a loom is attached are displayed in the loom
color by default.)
■ Rearrange the harness, segment, wire and cable wire stubs, ribbon cables,
and labels (if displayed).
■ Create base views.
■ Create connector base views.
■ Annotate the drawing with pin, wire, splice, ribbon cable, and connector
properties.
■ Add dimensions to actual wire and bundle lengths.
■ Add dimensions to actual ribbon cable lengths and various points that
identify a fold in a ribbon cable.
■ Add other data needed for manufacturing.
Nailboard Environment
There are three ways to enter the nailboard environment:
■ Click the Nailboard tool on the Cable & Harness panel bar in an active
harness assembly.
■ Click the Nailboard View tool on the Drawing Views panel bar in an open
drawing.
■ Open an existing nailboard.
