Gives you manual control over the insertion of the connector.
Displays the Custom Pin Spaces/Breaks dialog box that prompts
Allow Spacers/Breaks
you for the insertion of each connector pin prior to committing
the connector block definition to the drawing file. The running
count of pins inserted versus total pins defined for the connector
is listed at the top of the dialog box. Select an option for inserting
the other pins:
■ Insert Next Connection: Continues building the connector
by inserting the next pin (repeated prompting until all pins
are inserted).
■ Add Spacer: Adds a spacer in place of a pin on the connector
in order to leave room for a future pin or to skip over a wire
that is not to be broken by the connector. The connector
stretches its length to account for this extra blank space.
■ Break Symbol Now: Breaks connector and begins prompt
back at the Connector Layout dialog box. If you terminate
the command without inserting the remainder of the connect-
or, you can go to another drawing and restart the command.
You can continue with the previous connector or discard the
saved data and start with a new one.
NOTE This insert of a continued, broken connector
must be done during the current AutoCAD Electrical
session.
■ Cancel Custom: Inserts the remaining pins into the connector
without any further prompts.
Connector pin numbers in use
Lists all of the pins previously used in the project and the available pins that
can be assigned to a connector. The connector tag and pin count displays
below the title bar in the dialog box.
