Displaying and Mapping a Connection Point in a Diagram View

You can display and map an existing connection point in a diagram view.

Before you begin: Activate a diagram view containing a symbol.
  1. To place the port, right-click the symbol at the desired location and select Display Port In View .

    Note: This command is also available from the context toolbar.

    Arrows allowing you to select a direction are displayed.

  2. Select a direction.
    The Ports dialog box appears.
  3. If needed, you can filter the ports:
    1. Hover the pointer over the column to be filtered and click .

    2. Enter one of the following criteria in the Display Name box:

      You can also select the filter from the list. For each column, it references the five previously applied filters followed by all the available values.

    • To display only elements beginning with abc, enter abc*
    • To display only elements containing abc, enter *abc*.
    • To display only elements ending with abc, enter *abc.

    Note: The filter can be removed by clicking Clear Filter .

  4. In the list, double-click a port.

    Note: If the Lock pins multi representation option is selected in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Architecture > Functional & Logical Design > Electrical System Design > Schematic, the Ports dialog box only displays pins which are not represented in a drawing.

    The connection point is mapped with a port and displayed on the symbol.

    If a representation is defined in the Data Setup Default Schematic Port Representation resource, it is placed in the diagram view.
