@NeilCooke Is there a way (or will there be a way) to use Items and Wiring along side each other? We'd like to have the option of modeling some routes but also keeping track of others without modeling the geometry. If the base part number for, say, some tubing, is the same, but in some cases we manually enter a length for an Item, could we also use that same number with the Wiring features?
A corollary to that, is tubing for things like pneumatics routing an intended function of these tools? It seems like the documentation and features have focused on electrical wiring, but I'm not sure if there's anything that prevents it from being useful for flexible tubing.

Is anyone else having issues with adding nodes when editing a wire route? Since the latest Onshape update, I can only add them to the first section of a wire, before any clips. If I try adding to any other sections, the wire simply disappears. I have tried nudging them along to the correct point, but the node seems to cease to exist.
We've been using it for flexible tubing as well, with the strip lengths set to 0, and then shelling from both ends to get an accurate mass where necessary. It's very hand for getting a reasonable first pass approximation for length at the very least!
Changelog for release 1.204.0
⭐️ Added Connector descriptions, layout directions, and mass in anticipation of future capabilities
⭐️ Added Connector type "Splice"
⭐️ Added drag and "use previous" to Connector > insert feature
⭐️ Added Splice prefix designation to Wire data feature
⭐️ Added Splice workflow to Wire ref and Wire route features
Changelog for release 1.204.1
⭐️ "Link to previous" option now maintains each connector's position
Based on user feedback, the behaviour of connector placement has changed. If you have used the new capabilites introduced in 1.204.0 earlier this week, then your connectors may have moved - please check.
Changelog for release 1.204.2
⭐️ Clips now have the same metadata and positioning features as Connectors
