8.33.5 Importing a connection list
With a connection list, the Electrologic import can import complete wire harnesses. In EB you can create a connection list using the function <Create connection list>.
First of all you must create an empty project, which must be linked to the catalogs.
Select the empty project and use the context menu "Start macro" to start the macro <Electrologic Import>.
