Multiple Source / Destination Arrows

Hello Community,

I'm having difficulties to understand the usage of multiple Source / Destination arrows.

 

My use case:

I have a start point from which a wire (source arrow "TS2+") jumps onto another drawing (destination arrow "TS2+"), then the wire goes through two terminals and jumps to another spot on the same drawing (source / destination arrows "TS2+-01"), where the wire goes again through 2 terminals, then it jumps again on another drawing (source / destination arrows "TS2+-02"), where it does the same (through 2 terminals, jump "TS2+-03", through 2 terminals) and then end at the last terminal.

 

The wire is marked as "JUMPER / no wire numbering"

I am not sure what is going on by what you posted.

I do multiple Source/Destination codes on the same page and use the format that you described.

What seems to be your issue?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I will attempt an answer. 

 

One source can feed multiple destinations.  However, you cannot connect more than one source arrow to a destination. 

 

For page-to-page jumps, the simplest method is to make the source and destination code for each pair unique.  Leave the page with a source and continue on the next page with a destination that has the same code as the source on the previous page.  For example:

 

Page 1 source...SIG000        Page 2 destination...SIG000

Page 2 source...SIG001         Page 3 destination...SIG001

Page 3 source...SIG002         Page 4 destination...SIG002

ETC.
