Sharing connectivity between points without a wire

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to share connectivity between points on a part/connector without a wire in Inventor Cable and Harness?  I have a simple harness with wires running from Mil Spec connector pins to a barrier block (see attached image), terminated with spader connectors.  I currently have it modeled with the wires running to a "pin" in the barrel of the spade connectors.  The trouble with this method is there is no connectivity between the wire and the "spade" portion which is connected to the barrier block.  Is there any way to share connectivity between points on a connector withtout a wire?  I would like to do this with the Mil Spec connectors as well, allowing the pins to share connectivity between the inside and outside.  This seems like a basic thing to me, but I can't figure out how to do it.  Thanks!

It took a few interactions of reading your post to get an idea of your request. I don’t know if you imported the wiring from AutoCAD electrical or if this is just a point to point wiring you are doing.

With all else aside you could publish the terminal lugs with two pin points added in, one of the terminal block the other for the wire itself.

To take it a step further you could add generic iMates to the terminal block and lug so they would be placed a little easier.

You could do the same with the pin for the connectors. Add an insertion point for the connector and one for the wire. Again you could apply iMates to the pin and connector to make it easier.

I’ve attached a little sample focusing on just the terminal and the lug I hope it is helpful.
