Component to Span multiple schematic pages

I am wondering the best way to have a schematic component span multiple pages.  i want to make a power distribution block with 2 incoming and 12 outgoing terminals, 3 poles.  My schematic setup only has 20 lines per page.  I'm using the PDB to feed power wiring from the incoming to several smaller motor circuits.  But i want to be able to have the wire to/from report show that contactor CR1, Terminal L1 is connected to PDB1, Terminal 1a, (b and c for the other 2 poles)  and CR2 L1 connects to PDB1 Termial 2a (2b/2c).  I don't want the shop guys to daisy chain from one contact to another.

 

Do you guys have any ideas?  I would prefer not to do a parent/child type devices.


Thanks.

Hi

 

Some of the Alan Bradley PLC I/O cards are split multi parts.   This may give you some clues on if it is suitable or what you could impliments.

 

It can be dome.

I think the best way would be to use the Insert Connector tool. You can break these apart at any point and continue them on any other page.
