Project data > Connections > Wire harness navigator.
The wire harnesses and the components contained in the wire harnesses (connections, pins, cables, parts, etc.) are displayed and managed in this dialog. You can edit the properties of these components via the popup menu.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
This drop-down list displays all the available filters. A selected filter is automatically activated and is applied to both the tree and the list view. The "- Not activated -" entry deactivates the filter and causes an unfiltered display of the data. Click [...] to open the Filter dialog. Here you can create, edit, delete, copy, export, import, and manage filters.
The popup menu of the Filter drop-down list contains the following entries:
- Deactivate: This popup menu item is available if a filter has been set: Resets the filter setting to the "- Not activated -" entry.
- Activate <filter name>: This popup menu item is available if the filter setting is "- Not activated -": Reactivates the last active filter.
This allows you to toggle rapidly between the unfiltered representation and a representation filtered in accordance with your requirements.
Use this field, via Quick input, to adjust quickly the value of a filter criterion for a defined and activated filter.
Displays the wire harnesses of one or more projects in a hierarchical structure. The top hierarchy level is the project - in as far as several projects are opened. The wire harnesses are displayed under it (icon ).
The hierarchical level below it contains the first part of the wire harness as well as the wire harness components - in as far as they exist. The components (connections, cables, pins, etc.) are subdivided into different hierarchical levels in accordance with the categories of the function definitions (icon ). Otherwise these components are displayed similarly to in other navigators.
Special features:
- The components that are entered as further parts at the wire harness are displayed below the tree structure level Other wire harness components.
- Both the source and the target are displayed (separated by an arrow) for the cable connections displayed under the cable DTs.
- If the Part allocation property was used to specify for a part at a component that it is an accessory part this is displayed in an additional hierarchical level (icons for accessories , for parts (source) , for parts (target) ).
Displays the wire harnesses of one or more projects and the components contained in the wire harnesses in a list. The view of the wire harnesses depends on the column configuration selected in the Configure representation dialog.
Menu item |
Meaning |
---|---|
Select all (list only) |
Selects all of the entries in the list. |
Adjust column width (list only) |
Adjusts the width of all table columns so that both the headings and column contents are fully legible. |
New |
Generates a new wire harness definition. |
Delete |
Following a prompt, this deletes all selected objects or - in the tree view - all objects below the selected tree structure level. (Multiple selection of objects or tree structure levels is possible here.) At the same time, the placement of the selected objects is deleted in the graphical editor. |
Rename (tree only) |
Provides the possibility to modify the wire harness name for a wire harness and the associated wire harness components directly in the tree view. |
Place |
Places the selected function in the schematic. Before the actual placing press [Shift] in order to start the placement action in the mode "Individual functions". Press [Backspace] to open the dialog Place device and, if required, for example open the macro selection or change the representation type. |
Edit revision marker |
This menu item allows you to edit the revision marker texts and their format. This menu item is only available when a changed object in a revision is selected. |
Delete revision marker |
This menu item allows you to delete the revision marker texts. This menu item is only available when a changed object in a revision is selected. |
Go to (cross-referenced) |
Enters cross-referenced functions into the Go to list and opens it. |
Go to (all representation types) |
Enters all of the representation types of a function (e.g., on a schematic page, an overview page, and / or a report page) into the Go to list and opens it. |
Go to (graphic) |
Shows the selected object in the graphical editor. |
Insert into list of search results |
Allows all of the selected objects to be inserted into the search results list. With Find > Show results you can show these again at a later date. |
List with preselection (tree only) |
Reduces the number of elements displayed in order to allow for a faster orientation in the list view. If this option is activated, the list view is called up with an automatic filter (preselection) containing the elements that are currently selected. |
Select in tree (list only) |
Displays the marked object in the Tree tab. |
Configure representation |
Opens the Configure representation dialog, where you define which properties are to be displayed in the list and tree view. |
Edit in table |
Opens tabular editing, with the possibility of editing the properties of the selected objects. |
Properties |
