Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 7 Challenge
AIM:
- To flatten the wire harness assembly completed in the week 4 assignment and place the flattened view on a drawing sheet.
OBJECTIVE:
- To flatten the wire harness assembly completed in the week 4 assignment.
- To orient the wire bundle as shown in the layout.
