PDF Export Options

Configure how your harness design is exported to PDF, including BOM placement, Connection Tables, and Cut Lists.

Simple Engineering Drawing

Export a single-page PDF engineering drawing via Download & Upload > Engineering Drawing:

  • Full-page harness diagram with title block
  • Bill of Materials on a separate page
  • Connection Table showing all wire connections grouped by bundle
  • Cut List with consolidated wire requirements

Multi-Page PDF Export

Create professional multi-page engineering documentation:

  1. Click the PDF Pages button on the right toolbar
  2. Add pages with custom sizes (A2, A3, A4, Letter, or custom)
  3. Position and scale page frames over different areas of your design
  4. Toggle the “BOM on separate page” option to control BOM placement
  5. Export via Download & Upload > Multi-Page PDF

BOM Placement

The “BOM on separate page” toggle in the PDF Pages panel controls how the Bill of Materials is rendered:

  • Enabled (default): BOM renders on dedicated page(s) after the diagram pages. The diagram uses the full page area.
  • Disabled: BOM overlays on each diagram page in a corner position. Useful for single-page exports where you want everything visible at once.

When BOM is on separate pages, the PDF structure is:

  1. Diagram page(s)
  2. Bill of Materials page(s)
  3. Connection Table page(s)
  4. Cut List page(s)

Connection Table

The Connection Table provides a detailed wire-by-wire breakdown of all connections:

  • Grouped by bundle: Connections organized by wire bundles (e.g., “Bundle X1 | X2”) and cables (e.g., “Cable C1”)
  • Full connection details: From/To pins, signal labels, wire color, AWG, and length
  • Bundle labels: Shows bundle labels at each connection end
  • Cable cores: Lists all cable cores including shield connections
  • Flying leads: Displays termination type for unterminated wires

Connection Tables are included automatically in multi-page PDF exports and can be downloaded separately via Download & Upload > Connection Table.

Cut List

The Cut List consolidates wire and cable requirements for manufacturing:

  • Wire consolidation: Groups wires by MPN and manufacturer with total length calculations
  • Individual lengths: Shows length distribution (e.g., “3 x 200mm, 2 x 350mm”) for cutting planning
  • Cable support: Includes multi-core cables with total length
  • Bundle labels: Shows which wire bundles use each wire type

Export formats:

  • CSV: For spreadsheet applications
  • Excel (XLSX): Formatted spreadsheet with headers
  • PDF: Professional document with summary totals
