In the nailboard environment, the Nailboard panel bar and browser are
displayed and you can begin manipulating and annotating harness data.
To provide for maximum flexibility, the standard Autodesk Inventor drawing
annotation, views, and sketch panel bars are available from the nailboard
environment. Using these features, however, is not recommended. We
recommend that you create another view and make annotations as needed
until the view contains the entities you require.
Pause your cursor over the toolbar to view the tooltips.
The tools on the nailboard panel bar include:
Enters edit mode allowing easy access to the nailboard
sketch.

endpoint of the segment based on the specified angle
and sorting direction.
Fan Out
Collapses all wires or cable wires onto each other to
form one entity that emerges from the endpoint of the
Fan In
segment. It is displayed using the characteristics of the
longest wire or the segment.
Like the standard General Dimension tool, however,
the dimension values on the wires, segments, and rib-
Harness Dimension
bon cables are overridden by the adjusted length values
from the harness assembly.
Removes the specified length from the selected wire
or segment to shorten the object to fit in the drawing.
