Shielded Cable Connections between AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor

Shielded Cable Connections between AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor

The shielded cable marker has been used to do the connection. Seems that doing the connection in Inventor with .EMX connection, Inventor does not take into account the shielded cable marker. It just takes into account the connections which are done by pin-to-pin. So, putting shielded cable marker has no functionality on Inventor side different than normal cable marker. Inventor has no shield logic or feature. It addresses the first item I shared, which is it would be more effective if inventor could have shield logic and could be able to do the connection accordingly from the AutoCAD Electrical. 

 

The recording should be the process for me to show the shields both connected to GND pins. If I do this, even it is the one cable's shield, Inventor does not understand or there is no exchange of this data with .EMX connection, it is not possible to do the shield connection to the GND pins.

 

(view in My Videos)

 

It would be great if there will be exchange of this information to Inventor with .EMX. So, there is a cable and has 2 shielded marker, both markers connected to different GND pins on different connectors. If Inventor may be capable to do the connection would be a good enhancement on the process. Of course with a shield feature in Inventor.

 

This Idea is related with the idea Shield for Cable & Harness Environment - Autodesk Community and about interoperability.

Can we name the grounding spot. If we leave them unnamed than that could lead to confusion during wire to wire or Dielectric test. since we are testing the extreme opposite sides of the harness.
