Electrical 3D Design & Documentation in a Nutshell
Electrical 3D Design & Documentation is a product which provides machinery and consumer goods industry with a dedicated toolset for designing and documenting their electrical systems. This product offers the following main functions: electrical devices on parts and assemblies definition geometrical and electrical bundle creation assisted device placement according to the electrical specifications coming from external data (iXF file) creation and management of wire and electrical device catalogs wire routing harness flattening capabilities.
Before Reading this Guide
Before reading this guide, you should be familiar with basic Version 5 concepts such as document windows, standard and view toolbars. Therefore, we recommend that you read the Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all Version 5 products. It also describes the general layout of V5 and the interoperability between workbenches.
Getting the Most Out of this Guide
To get the most out of this guide, we suggest that you start reading the User Tasks section, which deals with handling all the product functions. The Workbench Description section, which describes the Electrical 3D Design & Documentation workbench, and the Customizing section, which explains how to set up the options, will also certainly prove useful. Navigating in the Split View mode is recommended. This mode offers a framed layout allowing direct access from the table of contents to the information.
