Altium subscription price5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() I wouldn't be surprised if "Harness Design" ends up more like the ECAD-MCAD connector thing, where Altium can synchronize connection data with an external tool that handles the actual design of the physical harness. Getting to the point where Altium *can* do that sort of thing with a reasonably good workflow seems like a pretty heavy lift, though. You can't easily do something like an overall view of the harness assembly with additional detail views, which is trivial in a real 3D design tool like Solidworks. Currently I have to represent all of the key details manually, and multiple views require a lot of manual synchronization and checking. I've been considering moving harness design to Solidworks Electrical at some point, though, because the biggest thing I want that Altium currently can't do is the ability to present multiple views of the same harness assembly that reflect its physical construction. We're currently using Altium for basic harness design, mostly so we can leverage the BOM outputs for creating material prep lists, and it works okay. So I wouldn't hold my breathe for it to take the industry by storm any time soon. ![]() The Motley Fool Australia's parent company Motley Fool Holdings Inc.

Well, presumably the functionality will show up the same way that Draftsman did: half-assed and 3/4 broken, before it slowly improves to being only 1/3 broken but still kinda half-assed after a couple of major versions.
