I created a cable in inventor but, it became confusing when the circuit became cluttered with the insertion of splices. So i removed the harness, created a new one (with no wires) and opened Electrical to create a schematic for the same cable. I placed all the wires and exported the wirelist to Inventor. I then noticed that my splices didn't transfer from Electrical. I fixed up the schematic and tried again. This time the splices transferred but, inventor is asking me to relate each "Elec" splice to an "Inv" splice. I don't have any wires or splices in Inventor to relate, this was kind of the point, to populate Inventor from Electrical.
So......obviously i am not aware of the work flow that these two programs would prefer. Can you provide some hints or checklist of the steps required in each program prior to the export/import so that the wirelist may be transferred seamlessly? Kind of an " Inventor import for Dummies"
thanx for any help
