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

Use Inventor to design cable and harness runs—

including ribbon cables—and save time and resources.

Cable and Harness Design

Simplify the design of electrical wiring, and reduce 
manufacturing errors by maintaining consistency 

between the electrical schematic and 3D wire 
harness design. With Inventor, wire list and 
connector information is used to drive harness 
design with built-in cross-checking of electrical and 
mechanical data, so all wires and connectors in the 
wire list are represented in the 3D cable design.

Inventor streamlines cable 

and harness design by 

using wire list information 

imported from schematic 

design packages, including 

AutoCAD

®

 Electrical 

software.

Maintain electrical design intent and reduce errors 
when importing wire lists into the assembly. Quickly 
import large wire lists from AutoCAD Electrical 
or third-party schematic design applications with 
detection and correction of missing connectors, 
pins, and wire definitions.

Optimize the design of cable and harness 
assemblies to help ensure proper spacing 

for manufacturing and to reduce errors in 
manufacturing caused by incomplete product 
definition. Define harness and cable paths using 
a point-and-click methodology that creates 3D 
virtual conduits (segments) in the model. Create 
associative relationships that ensure that the 
harness updates when design components change. 

Add points or move existing points to refine the 

overall shape of the harness.
