Concept: Logical References Overview

Logical References Overview
Logical Referencing is the action of linking Creo Parametric with routing information from an electrical or
mechanical diagram tool.

Figure 1 – Creo Schematics Diagram

The routing information is text (parameter) based, and not graphical in nature. Once the routing information is
known to Creo Parametric, you can automatically designate components and route wires.

Figure 2 – Viewing Designated Components

If the diagram information changes, these changes can then be propagated into Creo Parametric.

Figure 3 – Viewing Routed Wires

Logical Referencing provides Creo Parametric with the following information:

• Information on all connectors, including model name and reference designator name.

• The wire list, both quantity as well as the names of all wires and cables.

• The From and To routing information.

• Spool information.

• A means to compare the desired result (logical data) with the 3-D model in Creo Parametric.
