This schema defines a namespace "http://www.plmxml.org/Schemas/PLMXMLRoutelistSchema" (mapped to "routelist" in this document). Tutorial for schema creation: http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_intro.asp For other references see the Routing Application View schema, apv.xsd There are two types of fields for the routelist: 1) UGNX defined fields (smart fields in the Routing documentation 2) User defined fields Smart fields are updated by the system. User defined fields are not updated by the system. Both Non Harness Components and Harness components reference Electrical Component. This allows a component in one harness to be a device in another harness as their xml:ID is unique within the XML Route List. Validation of XML schema and routelist instance file, use Xerces-J2 validation: http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate.html Unique identifier of the RouteList object. Contains properties of electrical component Physical product id or part name to which this logical component is assigned (or to be assigned). Contains properties of electrical component Refers to the electrical component for this usage. Physical part instance name or component name to which this logical component is assigned (or to be assigned) This is an export only attribute. Auto: Automatically assigned to a physical component. Manual: Manually assigned to a physical component. Not Assigned: Not assigned to any physical component. This is an export only attribute. True: Wire/Cable/SpaceReservations are routed to this component. False: Wire/Cable/SpaceReservations are not routed to this component. Contains cross sectional types. (Circula, flat) Contains physical Wire Properties Wire gauge Outer diameter of the wire. Product ID or Part number of the wire Colour of the Wire in RGB representation. Name of the cable colour, if the colour can't be represented in RGB type. Type of the wire. Type and Gauge are used to select a wire from the wire part tables. Mass per unit length of the wire. Used to calculate the weight of the harness. Name of the wire material. Type of the wire material. Minimum length of the wire that should be used in a connection. Useful for design rule validation. Maximum length of the wire that can be used in a connection. Useful for design rule validation. Contains physical Cable Properties Cable cross-section type (Circular, flat). If no cross section type is specified then the type is set to Circular. Outer diameter of the cable. It is ignored if the cross-section type is flat. Height of the cable. It is ignored if the cross-section type is circular. Width of the cable. It is ignored if the cross-section type is circular. Product Id or Part Number of the cable. Colour of the cable in RGB representation. Name of the cable colour, if the colour can't be represented in RGB type. If outer diameter or Height and Width are not specified, then the cover thickness will be used to calculate the outer dimensions of the cable. Used to calculate the width of the cable, if the width is not spcified. Assumes uniform sapcing between wires. References to the first level children wires contained in this cable. References to the first level cable children contained in this cable. True: Cable is of type shielding False: Cable is not a shielding Mass per unit length of the cable. Used to calculate the weight of the harness. Name of the cable material. Type of the cable material. Contains space-reservation properties Cable cross-section type (Circular, flat). If no cross section type is specified then the type is set to Circular. Outer diameter of the space-reservation. If is ignored if the cross-section type is flat. Height of the space-reservation. It is ignored if the cross-section type is circular. Width of the space-reservation. It is ignored if the cross-section type is circular A factor used as a multiplier on the actual length to calculate the cut-length. A value used to calculate the cut-length by adding it to the actual length after the multiplier is applied. Contains Harness properties. (Fabrication etc.) Electrical components but not part of harnesses (Ex: Device) Harness electrical components (Connector, splice etc.) Type of the Harness Component (Connector/Splice). If no type is specified then the type is set Connector. Refers to the device to which connector or splice is attached. Contains properties of conductor (Wire/Cable/SpaceReservation) i.e assigned to a connection Reference to Wire, Cable, or Space Reservation element. The resolution is based on the Type. Location of the assigned conductor. (1. Ordering of the wire in a flat cable 2. Ordering of the cable in a stacked flat cables.) Length of the connection. This is export only field from UG-NX. Cut length calculated based on the offset and multiplier defined by the assigned conductor (Wire, Cable, Space reservation). This is export only. This is export only field Auto - Routed automatically Manual - Routed Manually Not Routed Reference to the Harness to which the wire/cable/space-reservation occurance belongs. Intermediate splice and pin information for connections Pin through which the wire/cable/space-reservation passes. Connection usage Properties Refers to the component at one end of the connection. Name of the terminal or pin on the From Component where connection starts/ends. Refers to the component at the other end of the connection Name of the terminal or pin on the To Component where connection starts/ends. A value used to calculate the cut-length by adding it to the actual length after the multiplier is applied. A factor used as a multiplier on the actual length to calculate the cut-length Display filters Filter Name, displayed to the user Conditional, for example $ROUTED="A" for auto routed/auto assigned items Display format fields. Each display format has associated fields. Field name in the imported route list Column heading displayed in the route list dialog, corresponding to formatFieldName Column number, left to right. Must be unique. A formatColumnOrder of 1 is the leftmost column. Column width in characters Sort Order for that column, 1 is highest priority, 0 is don't care Display formats Contains Wires, Cables, Components and Connection details
