Parts

Parts are the physical items used in the harness—such as connectors, cables, and coverings. They are created and managed in the Parts View.

Each part can have specific properties like part number, manufacturer, colour, and more. Parts are assigned to components, and once assigned, relevant properties are automatically validated. For example, a connector part must have the same number of cavities as the connector component it is assigned to.
