7.18       Creation of Connector Diagrams Using the Multi Connector Diagrams Assistant

As of EB 2019, the Multi Connector Diagrams Assistant enables you to also create connector diagrams of one or several connector assemblies (multi connectors resp. inline connection points).

 

1.      For the creation of the connector diagrams, select the connectors in the EB Explorer.

2.      On the shortcut menu, click Select Assistant, select the assistant Multi Terminal Block Diagram/Multi Connector Diagram and click Run.

 

3.      Select the connector blocks for which you wish to create a connector diagram.

4.      Complete the information and select a respective template as a Sheet Template.

The standard terminal block diagram template can be used as a basis for the creation of the connector diagram template.

5.      On clicking Start, the connector diagrams are created in the Documents folder. Click Close to end the dialog.

Part Of

Click File selection.gif and select the storing location of your choice for the connector diagrams in the displayed dialog Select Drawing or Folder.

Start Sheet

Provide the sheet designation for First Sheet. First Sheet may be alphanumeric, but has to end with a numeric part. The special characters ".", "_", and "-" are permitted.

The created connector diagrams are numbered sequentially (e.g. A1, A2, A3, ...).

Create gaps

The connector diagrams are not numbered sequentially. In each case, a gap that corresponds to the number of sheets of the previous connector diagram is kept.

Example:

If the connector diagram A1 has two sheets, the numbering continues with A3.

If the connector diagram A2 has five sheets, the numbering continues with A7.

Select a sheet template using the selection dialog.
