cable-viz is a program for generating cable harness drawings from YAML input. It was forked from WireViz on 9th of August 2026.
WireViz is an awesome tool but it's missing some features that would be really useful in my day-to-day work, and development seems to have slowed on the project. I'm keen to make some changes, please join in if you would like to see it improve!
My goals for this project are currently driven by my own work requirements, and will include (in no particular order):
Tolerance information for wire and cable lengthsDone 15/08/2026, could do with polish but it is functional- PDF output
- Drawing frames on PDF output
- Support for displaying terminal types within connectors
- Support for conduits
- Wire/cable cut list
If I or others find the time, I would also like to make the tool more user friendly - possibly by adding a web browser-based GUI.
- Version 0.1 - As forked from WireViz, with name changed and at least one of the above goals met
- Version 0.2...9 - Gradually meeting all of the above goals
- Version 1.0 - Begin work on a more user-friendly version with GUI - maybe package it for Debian?
