Wire tapping

Anonymous — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 04:40:46 GMT

I've designed wiring hareness. I was used few tapped connections in my design. While exporting the design to inventor, the tapped points makes connection from starting of the main wire. The tapped points isn't working in inventor.

Is there any soloution to make a tapped connection at inventor?

It is really hard to understand your question as you wrote it, without an attached model to demonstrate/visualize it.

What software did you use to export the design to Inventor? What format did you save this exported file in (STP, STL, etc.)? What version of Inventor are you using (year and update, such as "2022.2")?

Can you give an example of tapped connection you were looking for? You have many choices in Inventor, but I would say either a Join or Insert constraint would probably be best, depending on the geometry you got at the attachment points:

@Anonymous Did you create the harness schematic in Autocad electrical?

Have you reviewed the imported data?

Are you talking about creating splices?

Thankyou for reply! I'll try guidelines, If it not works I'll share the full design with details.

I'm using Autocad electrical 2022. Is this method suitable for designing a electrical wiring hareness. Because my problems only on electrical hareness.
