Adding a backshell in Pro/Cable

    In creating a flat cable harness to make a drawing of a complete cable
    assembly how are the connector backshell's placed in Pro/cabling so
    that they will show up in Harness? I have tried to route the cable thru
    the backshell and designate the backshell to the flat harness. It will
    designate the backshell but does not show up in harness. I have also
    tried creating an in line component and it will not show up. This is in
    Pro/E wildfire 2.0 date code M200.

    Thanks for any help

    I've seen a few cable schematics which is what I believe you are talking
    about when you refer to making a drawing. But I've never seen a backshell or
    other strain relief represented by more than a part number. I'm not even
    sure what purpose it would serve or what it would contribute to a wiring
    diagram. Certainly, such mechanical properties as cable routing, bundle size
    and minimum bend radiuses, which are of concern in backshell selection, have
    no place in the schematic. What are your thoughts on this.
