This task makes use
of the
Electrical Harness workbench integration together with the 3D
Tolerancing and Annotation product. It lets you easily define and manage 3D
tolerance specifications directly on the 3D or flattened harnesses. |

Curvilinear Dimensions makes it possible to measure the distance between:

A Product Functional Tolerancing & Annotation license must be available
to perform this scenario. Refer to the 3D Functional Tolerancing & Annotation User's Guide for more information on the product. You can use the following sample: ...\online\/cfysm_C2\/samples/\ElectricalAssembly/\ElectricalAssembly.CATProduct |

User Interface Behavior |
|||||||||
|
Selection of a 3D curve:If the user selects a 3D curve of a branchable bundle segment, then the curvilinear length dimension will be displayed in the geometry area, and the user will have to click in the free space to validate the dimension creation and to exit the command (no other geometric selection will be proposed). Selection of the first 3D curve after the selection of a starting point or planar face:If the user selects a point or a planar face, he will then be prompted to select a harness routing spline. Selection of other 3D curves:Then the user will be prompted to complete the
selection of harness routing curves or to select the ending point or planar
face of the curvilinear length: Selection of an ending point or planar face:If the user selects a point or a planar face, the curvilinear length dimension will be displayed in the 3D and the user will have to click in the free space to validate the dimension creation and to exit the command (no other geometric selection will be proposed). AssociativityIf an object taking part in the curvilinear dimension is moved in the 3D geometry area, the annotation is updated. Electrical continuityIt is not possible to create a curvilinear dimension for bundle segments belonging to different geometrical bundles. If you select points or planes, CATIA will find the best solution to compute the length the user intends to annotate:

Creating Text or a Flag Note with Leader |
|||||||||
When creating text or flag notes with leaders, create a point on the bundle segment curve to locate the leader. This ensures the associativity between the annotation and the bundle segment whatever changes are subsequently made to bundle segment shape. |
