Perform routed
system design tasks easily and automatically.
Speed up the process of routing tubes, pipes and
electrical cable and harnesses.
With SolidWorks
Routing, you’ll enjoy greater design efficiency,
better designs, improved BOM accuracy, faster
time-to-market, and lower costs.
Streamline the design of machinery, equipment,
small facilities, or anything else that requires
routing tubes, pipes along with electrical
cables and harnesses. All it takes is SolidWorks
Routing, the powerful routed systems design
application and fittings library that’s fully
integrated with SolidWorks.
Faster design of routed
systems
SolidWorks Routing enables you
to quickly and easily design pipe, tube, and
electrical routes in your product designs.
Key time-saving tools:
• Intuitive creation and modification of routed
systems, including drag-and-drop placement,
automatic sizing of components (parts or
assemblies), copying and mirroring of routes,
and auto-insertion of piping bends and elbows.
• Fast, easy 3D parametric modeling of tubing,
piping, and electrical cable and harness systems
within complex product or equipment designs.
• Auto-routing of tube, hose, and electrical
cable and harness segments directly or through
mounting clips and hangers.
• Time-saving library of ready-made tubing,
piping, and electrical cabling and harnessing
components.
• Automatic creation of engineering drawing and
bills of materials with complete information,
including cut lengths for pipe and tube routes.
• Specialized capabilities including creation of
bend data files for CNC tube- and pipe bending
machines and efficient creation of penetration
cuts involving pipes and tubes.
• Easy reuse of data created with electrical CAD
software and other tools when creating new cable
and harness route designs, importing data
conveniently in the Microsoft® Excel format.
Easy generation of cable
and harness manufacturing documentation.

SolidWorks Routing
provides designers of electrical and electronic
systems with additional timesaving tools for
generating cable and harness manufacturing
documentation.
Capabilities include:
• Flattening of 3D electrical cable and harness
routes in order to create drawings and related
documentation easily and efficiently.
• Creation of automatic reports including wire
list, wire summary, harness bills of materials,
and harness connection information.
SolidWorks Routing uses the
familiar SolidWorks 3D mechanical design
environment, so it’s quick and easy to use. Your
routed systems design is done in the same
integrated package as your equipment design
