Abstract
A method of producing instructions for installing a three dimensional cable assembly in a larger assembly. A three dimensional digital computer model of the cable assembly and a larger assembly is designed ab initio by using a three dimensional mechanical design system. A three dimensional view of the model is then selected and transferred to a two dimensional representation while retaining the aspect ratios of the cable assembly. Finally, the cable assembly geometry is visually distinguished from the larger assembly so that the former assembly is clearly accentuated with respect to the latter.
