relationship is like component relationships, which are based on the TAG
value. The TAGSTRIP, Installation, and Location values must match for the
terminals to associate together. The association number on the LINKTERM is
also taken into account when creating a relationship between the schematic
terminal and its panel representation. Block properties are not required to
associate a schematic to panel terminal. Once they are associated, modifications
on one results in modifications on the other.
You can associate a schematic and panel terminal automatically by:
■ Click Panel tab ➤ Terminal Footprints panel ➤
➤ Insert
Terminals drop-down ➤ Insert Terminal (Schematic List).
■ Click Schematic tab ➤ Insert Components panel ➤ Insert Components
drop-down ➤ Terminal (Panel List).
For multi-level terminals, the Insert Terminal (Schematic List) tool shows only
one terminal for insertion regardless of how many schematic terminal
symbols/levels there are for that multi-level block. The Insert Terminal (Panel
List) tool shows one terminal for each level for insertion.
NOTE Panel terminals inserted by the Terminal Strip Editor are automatically
associated to the schematic representation.
You can click the Associate terminals on page 1055 tool to select terminals to
associate or click Add/Modify on the Panel Layout - Terminal Insert/Edit dialog
box to add the panel terminal to an association with a schematic terminal on
any drawing in the project.
Associate terminals
Use the Associate Terminals tool to associate two or more terminal symbols
together. Associating schematic terminals combines the terminals into a single
terminal block property definition. The number of schematic terminals that
can be combined is limited to the number of levels defined for the block
properties.
Associating a panel terminal provides a way to define a particular panel
footprint to represent a schematic block property definition.
