Hi SWE team,
trying to download few parts from ECP site. example a connector. After it was associated to a symbol on line diagram and a cable connected, noticed that circuit information was not there. I could not connect the cable core to the connector terminals. anything missed? or i downloaded a wrong library from ECP?
I'm fresh on SWE, thanks for helping with this .
best
Roland
Nearly every part downloaded from the portal will need some kind of adjustment whether it be adding an Article number (your part number for the manufacturer part), adding terminals as you see here etc. It's up to you what's in the end useful information for your projects and process, but often times I recommend reviewing and tuning up what is downloaded from the portal. In this case, go ahead and practice by adding the circuits and naming the terminals on the connector! See the screenshots for help:
1) Go to your library, and find the connector you wanted to use, go to the Circuits, Terminals tab on the part's properties
Click on the "add multiple" button, and set up the circuit count/type
When you hit OK, you will see all of the circuits listed, select them all and you'll see their terminals in the window below, click in the Mark column area to give each terminal it's Mark as you'd like to appear on your drawings and WIRE to/from lists etc.
