## 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)).

- Panel introduction
- Basic: 
    - Microsift SQL server
    - elements
        - line diagram VS schemetic
        - Location & Function
        - wire & cable
        - symbol
            - special: terminal (strip)
            - 
        - Macro
    - DWG

## Panel review

- ribbon
    - Home
    - edit
        - copy, paste
    - view
        - dockable panel, drawing option
    - ==Electrical project==
        - print, configurations (eg. dynamic connector), reports
        - management: locations, functions, terminal strips, cables, origin-destination arrows
    - 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
        - interface configuration, application setting
    - windows
    - help
- dockable panels 
    - (configure in ribone>view>docakble panels)
    - page browser, components browser, properties panel, etc.
    - auto hide, right click
