Adding a Cavity to a Connector

You can add a cavity to a connector manually so that wires can connect to that cavity.

Note

If you are editing the cavities of an inline pair, see Adding a Cavity to an Inline Pair.

If a library part is assigned to a connector, you cannot add cavities because the library part controls the number of cavities.

Otherwise, after you have added a connector to a slot or after you have added an interface connector to a diagram, you can add cavities to the connector.

In the first scenario, when a device is then placed in that slot, you can select which cavity each signal from the device passes through. See Connector Refinement and Signal Mapping.

Procedure

Right-click on the connector in the Design Browser (Design tab) or diagram window and choose Add Cavity from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, click the connector in the Design Browser (Design Tab) or diagram, press Space Bar and enter Cavity.
A new cavity is added to the list of cavities in the Design Browser (Design tab).Note This functionality is unavailable if you have refined the connector. See Connector Refinement and Signal Mapping.
