Autodesk Inventor Routed Systems Suite 2008, Crossupgrade from AutoCAD LT 2007/2006, Network, German 46402-121462-9378 ユーザーズマニュアル

Generate accurate bill of materials data for better 
purchasing and cost forecasting. Select harness 
elements, such as clips, terminals, looms, and 
labels, and insert them into the cable design as 
nongraphical parts that are fully integrated with  
the Inventor BOM.

Set up company-specific connector libraries to 
encourage the use of preferred connectors in the 
design of electrical products. Inventor includes 
an extensive library of connectors to simplify 
selection and placement. The Content Center 
provides an easy-to-use editor to add user-defined 
connectors, as well as add or modify properties such 
as part numbers and default file names used  
when instancing connectors.

Use 3D visual inspection and interference detection 
tools to accurately determine whether wire bundles 
will fit correctly in the assembly. The software 
automatically calculates bundle diameters when 
wires are added or removed from the segments, 
even accounting for the actual wire diameters and 
air gaps between wires.

Improve quality and prevent errors by tracking 
individual cable conductors and their connections 
and routing paths. Minimize waste by creating 
a more complete BOM that includes accurate 
cable length and quantity data. Create intelligent 
representations of multiconductor cables, track 
which conductors within a cable are in use or 
available, and use route and unroute commands so 
all wires within a cable are routed together. Users 
can also
•  Use existing wire list import functionality to 

import cables automatically

•  Create bills of materials that accurately display 

cable data rather than individual wires

•  Create configurable reports on cables
