Assign Occurrence Reference Designators
Now that the harness assembly is added, set a specific reference designator
for each electrical part occurrence.
NOTE Add occurrence properties to electrical parts only after they are in their
proper assembly location. Occurrence properties are lost when electrical parts are
promoted or demoted, and must be reassigned.
Set a reference designator for an electrical part occurrence
1 In the browser, double-click Harness Assembly1, if not already active.
2 Right-click the part name 360124, and then select Harness Properties
from the context menu.
NOTE You can select the parts, but the browser has a gray background.
3 On the Part Properties dialog box, set a RefDes of U3 for the occurrence,
and then click OK.
4 Repeat the steps to set a RefDes of U7 for part 360575:1.
5 Set a RefDes of U8 for part 360575:2.
6 In the browser, expand the PCB subassembly to locate part LTP, and then
set a RefDes of J12.
The generic placeholder RefDes for each part is overridden at the
occurrence level with the unique value. The RefDes on each part
occurrence is required.
NOTE Once the harness assembly is added, you can also assign terminals,
seals, and plugs to electrical part pins.
7 Activate the top-level assembly and click Save.
8 Click OK.
