Electrical Routing - Loops

I need to add some extra length to my routing cable to allow for maintenance of an assembly. It would be nice to show this extra cable length in my assembly drawing - which means modeling a helical-like service loop within electrical routing.

I found a post on google in which a guy managed to use a round about way to model this, but i'm hoping someone has a nice solution for adding extra cable length to a route.

I think for now i'll be adding virtual clipping constraints and using "route through clip". Let me know if you have a better idea.

Thanks!
