I would like to revive this;
anyone found a solution for this problem for WF4?
 
Shrink wrap is often used with Pro/CABLE so you can route thru a lighter bit of geometry (the shrinkwrap) With this in Mind, you should be using shrink wrap functions before the cables are applied (or so you can route the cables).

From your email it is clear you want a shrinkwrap with cables and Ive never tried to do it...
 
I just need a representation for a high level assembly
drawing, but if the cables do not show I cannot use
shrinkwrap.
 
Use simplified representation which include cables. All othercomponents replace by shrinkwrap using envelope.
 
@contour: Yes, I have thought of that. Just hoped there
would be a simple solution.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Exporting a Shrinkwrap Harness:
1. First, export the harness assembly with cabling features/components as an IGES assembly file, making sure to select the option of exporting all cable surfaces.
2. Open the IGES file in Creo.
3. Export the IGES file as a Shrinkwrap part.

(Note: attempting to export cabling features/components directly into a Shrinkwrap part will result in missing cables or components)
