Routelynx – Cable Harness Engineering (Early Access)

Frederik Vollbrecht in Modeling


Is it finished?

No. ROUTELYNX is an Early Access prototype. What is described here works, but features can still change.

Which updates do I get?

All versions up to and including 1.0, and 12 months of updates after 1.0.

Are connectors included?

Not yet. Place pins on your own objects. The parts in the product images are demo models and are not included.

Can I use my own cable types?

Yes, but currently by hand: add them to cables_user.json in the extension's user folder. A built-in editor does not exist yet.

Are the bend radii reliable?

The built-in factors are rule-of-thumb values. Always check the datasheet of your cable.

Does it avoid obstacles?

No. Wires follow the trunks you draw, and there is no collision check yet.

Can I export the cables as a mesh or STEP?

Not yet. ROUTELYNX creates curve objects and exports the wire list and bill of materials as CSV.

Do I need MODULYNX?

No. It is optional. With it, profile nodes count as pins and frame and harness share one bill of materials.

Does my harness survive saving?

Yes. Harness, cores and splices are rebuilt when the file is opened.

Which license?

GPL-3.0-or-later. The add-on has no license check and does not use the network.
