Lists the contents of the cable and harness library. The
library contents include individual harness objects and
harness objects in specified categories.

Displays properties for the selected definition and the
category in which the selected object is organized. For
Object Properties tabs
example, displayed wire properties include color style,
part number, outer diameter, gauge, and core size.
Displayed cable properties include category, part
number, outer diameter, and number of wires.
Adding Library Definitions
You can add library definitions to the library individually or load multiple
definitions into the library at one time by importing from a spreadsheet or
other list.
Create New Library Definitions
To create new library definitions, specify the required properties. For example,
specify the wire name, color, and outer diameter for a new library wire
definition. Typically, these required properties are listed on the General tab.
If appropriate, organize new definitions into new or existing categories, assign
a part number, and add additional physical properties. Any number of custom
properties may also be added.
For example, the library Wire object type has two tabs:
Sets required, physical, and optional properties for new
definitions such as bend radius.
General
Sets new or edits existing custom properties. All custom
properties must have a data type.
Custom
The library Cable Wire dialog box includes a Wires tab in addition to the
General and Custom tabs listed previously:
