Copy Cross Section

The model below has two harness segments defined. The two segments are made up of the same cables, as shown in the image of the Simulation Tree, but those cables' locations and spacing are different. Their cross sections are shown in red and black. The green segment has no cable defined.

To apply the cable cross section of the black segment to the red and green segments:

1. Select the Copy Cross Section tool from the Harness section within the MHARNESS tab of the ribbon.

   

   Using the Select Line tool, select a harness section in the model window to copy its cross section. The segment will glow when hovered over and its cross section will be displayed.

   

   Alternatively, right click the black line segment in the model window and select Copy Cross Section from the pop-up menu. This method automatically selects the right-clicked cross section as the cable cross section to be copied.

   

2. Once chosen using either method, the selected cable will highlight yellow in the model window.

   

3. Using the Select Line tool, select the red and green line segments to copy the black cable's cross section to them. The segments will highlight blue to show that they are selected.

   

4. Click OK to finish apply the new cross section.

5. If desired, use the Inspect Cross Section tool to view the new cable cross sections.

   

   As noted in the introduction, notice that only the Shield and its interior components exist in the Simulation Tree, which indicates that all of the cable segments in the model are part of Shield.
