Show HN: Splice – CAD for Cable Harnesses and Electrical Assemblies

#1
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 components

- Bulk connect tool to create straight-through, crossover, or custom wiring patterns quickly

- Multiple connections per pin allow for daisy chains, etc.

Documentation Additions

- Multi-page PDF configurator to add A2, A3, or A4 pages for engineering drawing downloads

- WireViz YAML export (generate WireViz diagrams directly: https://www.danielrojas.net/projects/wireviz)

Library and Component Additions

- Expanded beyond harnesses to include categories for more applications: connectors, cables, breakers, fuses, switches, motors, power supplies

- Magic MPN button in the Component Creator to auto-fill specs from part numbers

Try it out, no signup: https://splice-cad.com/#/harness

:( I bungled the tutorial URL: https://splice-cad.com/#/tutorial

How do you mean? The trailing slash? I just removed it but let me know if you you need it (or anything else) changed in some other way.

Yes, the trailing slash - thanks for fixing it!

This is awesome.

What’s your plan for pricing?

In my opinion: you should bundle this as an offline electron app that can save to the filesystem and get integrated into existing PLM. and/or sell a team plan that offers cloud design & library sync

… and partner with that YC company doing wire harness machines for a “buy now” button

Could work well as an Onshape App.
