## Why Solidworks Electrical

## What can we get
[route in assembly](https://youtu.be/iMazR1TPVqo?t=2447) and [wiring harness manufacturing](https://youtu.be/iMazR1TPVqo?t=405) and [matched BOM](https://youtu.be/iMazR1TPVqo?t=2167)

:::warning
extremely flexible and powerful tool. No specific way to use.
I will mainly focus on our use (which is far different from the traditional use of [electrical enclosures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_enclosure)).

- process
- renumbering: wire, mark, documents
- solidworks assembly (based on Locations)
- ==line diagram==
- insert symbol, outline, draw cable, changes
- ==schemetic==
- draw line, insertion (connector->dynamic), changes
- draw
- modify
- import/export
- export (with hyperlink)
- ==library==
- manufacturer part, symbol, cable,
- tools
