SolidWorks Electrical Routing – Part 2

Submitted by Ricky Jordan on Monday, July 13, 2009Comments

Most users of SolidWorks Electrical Routing use the product to determine wire & route lengths.  This video is a direct followup to the Part 1 video.  In this segment, we will take the 3D Electrical Harness that we created in Part 1 and make some modifications to the route itself to better fit our design intent.  Along with that we’ll show you how you can add wires to your electrical route which will give you accurate cut lengths for the individual wires and/or cable conductors that make up your harness.  The method shown is the “manual” method which is necessary when you create a route “on the fly”.  Click on the image below to play the video.

Part 3 of this series of posts will cover creating an Electrical Cable/Harness using a From/To list.  There is a little more setup involved, but the automation is GREAT, which results in faster route creation.

Stay tuned…more to come!

    Ricky -

    I really appreciate your tutorials, they're well put together and very informative. Any plans to make a Part 3 (or more) follow-up to this series?

    Thanks!
  • Wow, part two was even better than part one.

    Okay so this is great and I'm glad you are blogging again and everything but in the meantime your wife (that'd be me) is still using a manual can opener.

    So I picked out one that I like, it matches the new kitchen, and you got paid today.
    Hint hint.

    P.S. If you order it with my acct, its free shipping. :)

    Y'all carry on now, sorry to interrupt.

  • I've got to admit...that is the most creative way I have ever seen someone get a can opener. :-)

    It's on the way. :-)

    I refreshed and even re-booted (because of something else) and this time it gets to 55 seconds and stopped.
  • Steve,

    I'm not having any problems with the video playback on my end. Have you tried refreshing the page? I'll check my server when I get a chance and see if I see any errors.

    Anyone else having this same problem?
