WireRoute Pro is an Autodesk® Fusion® add-in that creates realistic wire and cable geometry through assemblies. Define a route using waypoints, set start and end points, and generate swept wire bodies — no manual 3D sketches or splines required.

The add-in opens a docked palette from SOLID → CREATE → Wire Routing or ASSEMBLY → CREATE → Wire Routing with three tabs: Wire Setup, Waypoints, and Settings.

How does it work?

• Place waypoints on faces, edges, or vertices to define the wire path
• Define one or more wires with start/end points, names, and colors
• Click Generate — the tool creates swept solid bodies along the routed path
• Adjust waypoints or settings and click Recalculate to update

Key Features:

• Waypoint-based routing — Place directional waypoints that constrain wire tangent direction. Drag, rotate, reorder, or toggle waypoints on/off at any time.
• Multiple cable types — Straight (parallel bundle), Twisted (helical), Ribbon (flat cable with fold detection), and Zip Cord (side-by-side round conductors).
• Automatic wire bundling — Multiple wires sharing the same route are automatically offset and packed to maintain consistent separation through bends and curves.
• Branching and sub-branching — Build tree-structured harnesses with trunk, branch, and sub-branch waypoints. Wires are automatically routed through the shortest path in the tree.
• Graph-based pathfinding — Each wire's route is computed automatically based on proximity to waypoints. Wires can traverse branches in any direction.
• Automatic obstacle avoidance — The routing engine detects collisions with existing bodies and inserts dodge waypoints to reroute around obstacles.
• Per-waypoint wire filtering — Control which wires pass through each waypoint, allowing different wires to take different paths through the assembly.
• Per-wire diameter override — Set a global wire diameter or override it per wire (e.g. thicker power wires alongside thinner signal wires). Supports mm, inches, and AWG gauge input.
• Ribbon cable support — Flat ribbon cables with automatic parallel transport, flatwise correction, fold detection at sharp bends, and configurable conductor count.
• Target cable length — Specify a desired cable length and the routing engine adjusts path relaxation to match.
• Minimum bend radius — Enforce a minimum bend radius to match real-world cable specifications.
• Harness management — Save and load complete harness definitions (waypoints, branches, wire definitions) as JSON files. Support for multiple harnesses in a single design.
• Timeline grouping — All generated wire features are organized into a named timeline group per harness.
• Export — Export a wire list with lengths and properties, or export a flat harness formboard diagram as a DXF file.
• Visual feedback — Color-coded start/end route markers, waypoint highlighting on click, and amber selection indicators during editing.

Requirements:

• Fusion 2026 or later updates
