I have a schematic set created outside SWE. It includes a printed circuit board with dozens of receptacles for connectors. The drawing set includes a page where the PCB is represented as a simple rectangle, with the equivalent of orig/dest symbol for each connection around the periphery, like this:
On various other sheets, the actual mating connectors are shown with their wires and a corresponding origin/dest symbol:
I would like to duplicate this using SWE, but I'm not sure what the best approach is. The more automatic, the better. I can make an orig/dest connection and then delete the wires, but then there's no easy way to have the matching text on each end. Could I use a simplified concection label for this? Is there some other approach I'm not thinking of?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds as though you just want a cross reference to appear between the PCB receptacles (first img) and the schematic in which the mating connector is defined. If so then origin-dest arrows are not required - you can use the attribute #LAB_CROSS_REF to link together two Connection Label symbols that are associated with the same device, in this case connector J1. They will report where the other is represented.
Connection labels can also display information from the connector in either location (such as the Tag and Description) to make better use of the data already present.
