Creating Pins and Electrical Ports

Creating Pins

You can create pins and insert them under the following electrical components:

Harness connector
Splice
Disconnect
Terminal

You can define forbidden characters through the Pin Name Forbidden Characters resource of Data Setup to forbid the use of certain characters. If the name of the pin contains forbidden characters, you cannot validate your creation. When creating several pins, the forbidden characters are skipped.

Before you begin:

Create a logical reference (System) under the Logical node.
Create an equipment under the logical reference.
Create an equipment connector under the equipment.

In the tree, select the connector.
In the Create Pins dialog box:
1. Choose the type of pins you want to create.
2. Type the number of pins to be inserted.
3. Type the name of the first pin.
4. Click Add.
  The pins appear in the Pins To Be Created area.
Click OK to create the pins and close the Create Pins dialog box.
