Objectives
Set up and prepare for cabling by creating the assembly, the connectors, and the harness part.

Route the cables using both manual and schematic routing.

Flatten the cable harness.

Create a drawing of the cable harness.

You are tasked with creating the wire harness for a charging station used to charge the batteries of two-way
radios. You must first create the cabling assembly and connectors. You can then route the wires within the
charging housing. Next, you flatten the harness so that it can be documented in a drawing. Finally, you create
the drawing and insert a table that documents the different wire runs, spools, colors, and lengths.

Step 1. Set up the assembly to route cables.

1. Disable all Datum Display types.

2. In the model tree, right-click COVER.PRT and select Hide.
