Still working on Splice CAD. The two most significant updates focus on handling design complexity and automating using agentic workflows. Previous Show HN here:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=449781401. Projects:This workflow is more amenable to system-level modeling. It overlaps somewhat with the original workflow but includes improvements including:Complex Routing: Model topologies with...
For internal part numbers, are you wanting to assign internal part numbers for components (like connectors, etc.) used in an assembly or an internal part number to the assembly itself?
An internal part number for the assembly is coming soon, but the internal part numbers for individual components is not something that's planned right now.
Currently, all wires in a bundle (all wires between the same two connectors are part of a bundle) are forced to have the same length. Do you want to override that?
The connector graphics are not currently exported to WireViz YAML, so you'd have to re-link them manually with your own image file. The ability to download a zip with the graphics included is in the works.
I'll put something together with the current features and share here.
Download as in run the app locally or download a design?
If the former, that's not currently possible.
If the latter, you can use the Download button on the harness builder (top floating button menu) to choose an available format for an engineering drawing, diagram, or BOM or choose JSON or WireVIZ YAML; see the Export and Documentation section here: https://splice-cad.com/#/tutorial
I intend to keep the current functionality (50 harness/assembly designs per account) free. A collaboration feature is coming soon that will allow creating teams and sharing harnesses with specific accounts - we may charge here at some tier but this is TBD.
I was unaware of the YC company (https://www.loombotic.com/ I think) - thanks for pointing me to it.
I first posted Splice CAD as an in-browser tool for making cable harnesses.Since then it’s grown in both features and scope — the direction is moving from “harness-only” toward a lightweight CAD for wiring and electrical assemblies. New functionality includes:Editing Enhancements- Full undo/redo to easily restore editor state- Multi-select & group actions to move, delete, and add...
