Anyone willing to share a simple technique for showing a striped wire in an assembly? Routing solid color wires is fairly straight forward but how could I show a green w/ yellow striped wire in an assembly model to drive a shaded view in a drawing?

Can you just draw up a texture in Paint or something to be applied to the wire? I've never tried such a thing myself.
One idea could be to sweep some very small "microcuts" along the wire to divide the surface and then add colors to the different sections. Depends a little on how You swept the cable from start.

I divided the sweep profile to create a surface (the stripe) that I could select and assign a different color to. Worked great! Looks like Krister had the same idea. Thanks.
You might want to use the new 2005 sweep option "Twist Along Path" to make the stripe twist.
