Concept: Routing with Logical Data

Routing with Logical Data
Routing wires and cables with logical data available is similar to routing wires manually. However, routing
with logical data has the following benefits:

• Information on all connectors, including model name and reference designation name is known.

• The wire list, including quantity and all names of wires and cables, is known.

• The From and To routing information is known.

• Spools are created automatically as wires and cables using those spools are routed.

• The system can compare your routing progress in Creo Parametric with the logical data.

Once the wires are routed between their destinations using Simple Route, you can use this method to insert
any intermediate locations to shape the routing path. In Figure 1, the wires are routed using the logical data,
but they interfere with the solenoid component.

Figure 1 – Routing with Logical Data

In Figure 2 a location point is inserted to route the wires around the solenoid, as shown in Figure 2.
