Hi there. I'm trying to learn how to use this cabling thing and the PTCU tutorials leave a lot to be desired. Of course, it seems insanely complicated, so I guess it's hard to cover everything. Anyway, I have a hard time understanding the structure of stuff. I make the wiring assembly with the connectors/terminals and the routed wires. Then, I'm supposed to make a "manufacturing" assembly. But the first thing I do in that assembly is create another assembly. I am so confused as to why I make an assembly inside of an assembly. There seems to be no way to add anything under the "manufacturing" assembly, so why is it there? The PTCU thing runs you through the steps, but there's no real explanation as to the theory or the why.
My other issue is that we have a product with several individual wires that are not connected but are purchased in a packet as a "kit". So, technically, they are not a harness, they are just a bunch of wires with terminals. What is the best way to flatten them all out and create a print that is for the "kit"? Not sure if that makes sense.
Any insight into the organizational structure of this wiring thing would be awesome. Thank you so much for the help.
