Visual association of multilevel terminal blocks in schematic
Visual association of multilevel terminal blocks in schematic
We are just starting to use multilevel terminal blocks and I'm wondering if there is a method I am missing where I can visually see the associations between terminal connection levels of a single multilevel terminal block component on the schematic diagram. I have a feeling that's asking too much of the software and the workaround has been to create reports and/or terminal layout tables. From what I can see the only piece of data available which indicates the relationship is the LINKTERM code and that's a bit long and ambiguous. I don't need to know the names of the levels or the pin assignments, either. I half-hoped it would be something as simple as a LINK line similar to parent/child objects but that's not the case.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
As you've figured out, there's no automatic "link line" for these multi-level terminals. The different levels could be placed on different sheets also.
So... I'd just add a polyline manually between them if it's important to show them as "grouped".

Yeah, I kinda figured I was asking for a bit much. I hate the thought of adding more messy "connecting" lines or identifier text to the drawings though I may look into adding the X connecting attributes and see what it looks like. We may also see what we can do with a more refined terminal strip layout drawing.
