I am using Solidworks 2023 with the Solidworks Electrical 3D add-in, and with the Solidworks Electrical 2023 Schematic software. I am trying to route a cable within an existing assembly. I defined the connectivity, cable reference, etc in SWE Schematic, added it to a harness, and set up the 3D assembly in the project. I am able to place the connectors from each end of the cable harness inside the 3D assembly. I get to the point of routing the harness in the 3D assembly, but no matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the route to create a service loop. I tried manually defining a routing path, but the route tool seems to simply bypass the loop and instead jumps straight across from one connector to the other. Granted, this is a very short distance (only a couple of inches), so I suspect there is a setting somewhere that overrides the service loop with the shortest path. I have created a simple MS Paint sketch of what I am experiencing. The thin yellow line (hopefully it is visible) represents the custom EW_PATH sketch (which is what Solidworks Electrical 3D uses as a reference path for routing the wires). Note there is a distance between the two segments of the 3D sketch where the loop "crosses over" itself. The thick red and black lines represent the actual routed harness. What am I missing here?
And before anyone asks, I am afraid I am not able to share the project, as it is proprietary, but I will answer any questions I possibly can to help come up with a solution.
