Onshape Cable/Wire Routing
I've been exploring the use of Cable/Wire Routing and I have been looking for the rules of syntax required in the creation of the CSV file. One thing I have noticed is that it seems the To/From Device names are case sensitive and have a requirement to be all UPPER CASE.
I'm working in an educational environment, so I don't believe I can easily share the document. My workflow and prodjuct are like the following.
I have a component in my top level assembly that will have two wires connected to it. In my CSV file I called it Ref ID MainBreaker. When I try to add Wire ref it adds a new entry into the Wire Data Table as Ref ID MAINBREAKER just above the entry that was imported from the CSV
A second ask is if there are plans or a way to edit the CSV or Custom Table that was created in the project without using an external tool to edit the original or a downloaded copy and updating the imported file?

Everything is in uppercase to ensure no duplicate IDs are used. The CSV file cannot be edited in Onshape, but you can also just route manually with no CSV.
