Drawing with wires

Is it possible to generate a drawing (idw or dwg) that shows wires created in IV?
Is the wire and harness a tool only for the purposes of visual representation and pegboard creation?
Can it be expected that sometime along the next releases, electrical components could be inserted, and schematics be automatically generated?

Thanks

Mauricio

Never mind... Just found the procedure (go to the drawing, look for the harness in the browser, right-click and select Include Centerlines)

**The question about future possibility of automatically generating schematics stands, though**

If you have AutoCAD Electrical you can do this now with the Import and Export from Cable and Harness. Works quite well actually.

Did you find the Nailboard option in there as well. You can lay out the harness and do Fan In and Fan Out on the contacts.
