We’re getting into some larger harnesses and are looking for more capabilities out of Solidworks Routing. We need to keep track of terminals, seals and plugs for individual pins in each connector, and we also need to keep track of additional components needed for each connector (ex. Seal, backing cover, mounting screws, screws within the connector).
The attached table (CONNECTOR TABLE.JPG) is an example of what we need the table to look like.
Each connector table in the drawing below should be replaced by the above table, and the additional components should be added to the BOM as shown in the drawing below.
There is a spot in the component library (pic) to add terminal and plug part numbers, where does this data get used?
Basically we need to be able to edit the connector tables in the routing drawings.
Anybody dealt with these issues? Is Solidworks Routing capable of this?
Hi Peter,
I would love to implement the enhancements you have asked for. I have wanted to do this for a long time. I would like to ask you to do a couole of things to help me with this.
1: Send this to your VAR and ask him to raise it as an enhancement request. Please ask him to reference Ben Wilcox - I'll ask Ben to look out for it.
2. Would it be OK for someone from our Product Definition department to contact you, perhaps even pay you a visit to discuss your requirements.
Thanks
Best Regards
Andy
