On the Layout
With coverings and wires shown on bundles (on by default), a Bundle with a heatshrink covering is drawn as a plain sleeve in the heatshrink’s Color. When a bundle has several coverings, only the one most likely to be outermost is drawn. With Draw coverings and wires in colour turned off under Harness settings → Layout, it is drawn grey.
When bundles are drawn at their estimated thickness, the covering’s Thickness is added to each side of the bundle’s drawn width.
Heatshrink applied to a connector, terminal or splice through its part’s configuration isn’t drawn on the bundle.
