Creating New Nailboard / Cable Drawing

A nailboard is created from wire harnesses, a cable drawing is created from cable units. Proceed as follows to create a new nailboard / cable drawing:

  1. Select a Nailboards / Cable drawings node in the Project structure tab and click the [Add] button (or use the Add popup menu item).
    Or select the File > Create nailboard / File > Create cable drawing menu items from an opened workspace / workdesk document. If you do this, skip step number 2.

    The New nailboard / New cable drawing wizard is opened.
  2. In the first step of this wizard use the Name field to determine the name of the new nailboard / cable drawing.
  3. Activate the Open nailboard after creation / Open cable drawing after creation check box to open the newly created nailboard / cable drawing after the wizard is finished.
  4. Click [Next].
  5. In the next window select the Default settings option if you want to create a nailboard / cable drawing from scratch. Or select the Based on template option and use the [...] button to browse to a suitable nailboard (*.hxnt) / cable drawing (*.hxct) template file.
  6. In the next step decide on the wire harness / cable unit selection by activating / deactivating the check boxes of the wire harnesses / cable units to be included.

    If you started nailboard / cable drawing creation from an opened workdesk / workspace document, then the All wire harnesses / All cable units check box is automatically activated and all available wire harnesses / cable units are preselected. Note that only the opened workspace / workdesk document is the source of the nailboard / cable drawing; you can not select wire harnesses / cable units from a different document.

    If you started nailboard / cable drawing creation from the Nailboards / Cable drawings node of the Project structure tab, the All wire harnesses / All cable units check box is deactivated. In this case select the desired wire harnesses / cable units as the source of the nailboard / cable drawing. Note that all wire harnesses / cable units contained in the workspace / workdesk documents can be selected as a source of the nailboard / cable drawing.
  7. Click [Next].
  8. In the Electrical configuration step of the wizard, select the configuration to derive the nailboard from. If you select the Not specified option in this step, no electrical option is used.

    Note:

    If you started nailboard creation from an opened workdesk / workspace document, the nailboard is derived from the current configuration and this step is skipped. For the cable drawing this step is always skipped, since the cable drawing is always created from the currently set electrical configuration.

  9. In the Display configuration step of the wizard, select the display configuration to derive the nailboard / cable drawing from.
  10. Click [Finish] to create the nailboard / cable drawing and exit the wizard.
