Use the Harness Wizard - Step 1 of 3 dialog box dialog box to specify:

• The format for the ECAD net list file.

• The component document used to create the harness.

• The conductor document used to create the harness.

• Specify the format for the ECAD net list file

  The Document Format option specifies the format for the net list file used to create the wire harness. Use the menu to display a list of document types found in the SEHarness.txt file.

  The SEHarness.txt file, located in the C:\Program Files\Solid Edge ST6\Preferences folder, defines the data format for the ECAD net list files used to create the wire harness.

  The SEHarness.txt file contains three sections:

  • The company name, which also represents the format displayed in the menu list.

  • The component definition used to define each column in the component file.

  • The connection definition used to define each column in the connection file.

• Specify the component document used to create the harness

  The Component Document option specifies the component document used to create the wire harness. The document can be in .CMP or .CMP_XML format.

  The component document contains information such as the component id, component name, and component description.

• Specify the conductor document used to create the harness

  The Connect Document option specifies the connection document used to create the wire harness. The document can be in .CON or .CON_XML format.

  The connection document contains information describing the connections in the wire harness such as the component ID, color, and material, as well as the component from ID and the component to ID.
