Cabling Command Line | CadActive Support

Run AutoRouting from the Creo command line using logical data and an optional routing profile.

Use -CADACTIVE=CABLING to run AutoRouting without the GUI. CadActive opens the equipment assembly, creates a harness, imports logical data, routes, and saves the model.

Shared flags (Creo startup, sign-in, models, Windchill) are on Creo Parametric Command Line.

AutoRouting

Action: AUTO_ROUTING (alias AUTOROUTING).

AutoRouting uses the first model only. The harness name is always <equipment>_CABLING (for equipment EQUIP-01, the harness is EQUIP-01_CABLING).

Flag	Required?	What it does
`-MODEL` / `-MODEL_FILE` / `-MODEL_DIR`	Required (one)	Equipment assembly. Only the first model is routed.
`-INPUT=`	Required	Logical data file (`.xml` or `.nwf`). A bare file name is resolved in the working directory.
`-ROUTING_PROFILE=`	Optional	Routing profile name or id. If omitted or not found, CadActive uses the default profile.
`-DESIGN_ROUTE_RULES_FILE=`	Optional	CSV that remaps XML entry ports / designations to Creo CSYS names.
`-ENTRY_PORT_MAPPING_FILE=`	Optional	Alias of `-DESIGN_ROUTE_RULES_FILE=` (same table). If you omit both, AutoRouting already looks for `cadactive_entry_mapping.csv` in the working directory.

note

-HARNESS_NAME= is accepted on the command line but is not used. The harness is always named <equipment>_CABLING.

-OUTPUT= is a shared flag and does not change where AutoRouting writes the harness. The routed assembly is saved in session like a normal Creo save.
