Example assembly with cable routing

SolidWorks® Routing software helps automate complex routed system design tasks, including tubing, piping and cabling. The routed system design solution also includes a fitting library that further eases the design process.

This article provides links to additional resources and content for the SolidWorks Routing solution.
