warning message is displayed if the duplicate entry has different data or
connectivity.
To ensure that the import is not interrupted due to missing parts, use Review
Harness Data on the Cable and Harness tab to parse the harness data in a
harness data import file and generate a list of all the electrical parts defined
in that file. The list includes all connectors and splices and their defined
properties. An error condition icon is displayed for any electrical part that
does not have a RefDes in the assembly.
Use this list to check for and correct missing RefDes information and to verify
that the required electrical parts are placed in the harness assembly before
importing the file. Refer to the online Help for more details.
Once the harness data is imported, you can use the Imported Harness Data
dialog box to:
■ View the imported data.
■ Identify and correct any issues with the data.
■ Add additional information to provide a complete definition.
Configuration File Formats
The configuration file must contain the following information to accommodate
both wires and cables. Previous file formats that contain only wires still work
for wire import. Cable occurrences must use the format listed:
Type of object contained in the input file. For cable
and wire occurrences, the object is cablesandwires. It
is not case sensitive.
OBJECT
The output log file path and name. For example,
C:\WireListImport\wirelist.log. If no path is listed, the
log file is created in the same directory as the .csv file.
LOGFILE
Specifies the order, data type, and units of the input
parameters. There must be a Wire ID, Cable ID, Library
HEADER1 (Property
Name)
Name, Conductor ID, REFDES1, Pin1, REFDES2, and
Pin2. The REFDES can be from splices or connectors.
The Cable and Conductor IDs are required only when
importing cable wires. The custom properties and re-
quired properties can be in any order, as long as the
minimum required subset is present.
