Patent ID: 6898473

Claim:
A wire harness design support system for supporting designing a path layout of a wire harness wired in a predetermined location and a jig plate layout for manufacturing the wire harness, comprising: a path data storing unit for storing at least current path data related to a current path layout; a jig plate data storing unit for storing at least current jig plate data related to a current jig plate layout; a path data acquiring unit for acquiring new path data related to a new path layout in which modification is required; a difference information detecting unit for comparing the new path data and the current path data and detecting difference information between both data; and a current jig plate layout output unit for adding information which is calculated based upon the difference information and has an effect upon the current jig plate layout, to the current jig plate layout calculated based upon the current path data, and outputting the current jig plate layout to which the information is added.
