Create a nailboard drawing of the ribbon cable.
■ Add dimensions for: conductor one, length of the ribbon cable, fold angle,
internal work points.
■ Place connector base views.
■ Edit the ribbon cable harness assembly and change the fold to a double
fold. Return to the nailboard and see the results of the change.
■ Add properties.
Create a nailboard view from an open drawing, and then:
■ Generate reports or a parts list and place additional tables.
■ Update the external report file, and then update the table data.
■ Move and adjust the table settings.
■ Display additional properties.
