Layout Wire Connection Annotation
Add wire information to footprints
Insert schematic wire connection information on to panel footprint
representations. After you add wire numbers to your schematics, annotate
panel footprint symbols with this information. You can build panel footprint
symbols with target attributes used for the wire connection information. If
these attributes are not present on the panel footprint, an MTEXT entity is
added to carry the wire information.
Target Attributes
If the panel footprint blocks carry certain target attributes, they are used for
the wire information. Each wire connection attribute definition is tied to a
terminal attribute definition (TERMxx) by the matching two digit suffix on
each attribute tag pair. The default value of the TERMxx attribute is used to
match up the wire connection information from the schematic components.
■ TERMxx - incremented for each wire connection. Carries the default pin
value for the wire connection. The two digit suffix relates the attribute to
the wire annotation attributes, WIRENOxx, WDEVxx, and WLEVxx.
■ WIRENOxx - wire connection information is written to this attribute.
Optionally, use WIRENOxxA, WIRENOxxB, and so on, to separate multiple
wire connections across multiple attributes.
■ WDEVxx - if present, the connected component part of the annotation is
broken out and placed on this attribute.
■ WLAYxx - if present, the connected wire layer part of the annotation is
broken out and placed on this attribute.
For example, here is a footprint representation for a 4-pole relay.
