Model cable without ProCable

[galanm]

What would be the easiest way to model a cable using just ProE (WF4)? I just need a representative cable nothing fancy. 2 #8 AWG conductors with an Anderson 6319 connector on one end and the other into a box. I'm fairly new to ProE and haven't gotten proficient at sweeps yet. I figured this should be an easy one for most of you from what I've seen.


Thanks

Create and assy with thebox and connectors in postion. Create a cable part in assy mode and make it active. Create a curve between the two connectors.Sweep an extrusion alongthe curve

Tip
Place 2 points on your connector, one where wire goes in
and one about an inch or so offset out in space along its
axis.
Then when placing spline thru points it helps align cable
to it.
