Hi,
This query could also belong in the Routing forum, but as I don't have Routing (only basic SW '08), and it's an assembly problem, I'll put it here.

I'm trying to connect PCB-mounted photonic components using optical fibers in SW. The components are placed in the PCB assembly, and I need to find a way to route fibres between these. The fibres will also have 3D paths, i.e., they're not always planar with the PCB.

My original idea was to use a 3D sketch to define the fibre route and sweep a circle along this to create the fibre. However, the resulting part in the assembly is fixed, so if the components are moved the route needs to be edited.

Can anyone suggest a better way of doing this please?

Thanks,
Brian
