Tip:
Use the Assign Component command to assign a component to a part in the assembly. When you use this command the attributes are written to the part files if you have write-access.
Use the Assign Occurrence command to assign an occurrence to a component or swap existing occurrences.
Use the Populate command to add a part to the assembly that is listed in the components file, but missing from the assembly.
Use the Assign Terminal command to assign a terminal to a circular edge on a part in the assembly. When you use this command the attributes are written to the part files if you have write-access.
Use the Delete Wire From Harness command to delete a wire from the harness design.
Use the Preview command to preview the harness design. You can preview a single connection, or use the Ctrl and Shift keys to preview multiple connections.
