Create the ribbon cable
1 Activate the Ribbon Cable assembly.
2 On the ribbon, click Cable and Harness tab ➤ Create panel
➤ Create Ribbon Cable.
3 Ensure that the raw ribbon cable definition you created earlier is the
ribbon cable that is selected in the dialog box.
4 In the graphics window, select the start connector (1) and the end
connector (2).
Notice the directional arrows and the spline that appear. The green arrow
indicates the outward direction of the connector. The orange arrow shows
the orientation for the width of the ribbon cable body. The spline
indicates the initial shape of the ribbon cable.
5 The outward direction on the end connector is not correct. Click
the outward direction tool for the end connector to change the direction.
