Mapping

a Footprint Connector to a Slot Connector (Device Connector and Harness Connector) on a Slot

You can edit the mapping of footprint connectors to slot connectors (device connectors and harness connectors on a slot) after you have placed a device with a footprint.

Note

You can edit these mappings when you place a device with a footprint manually. See Manually Placing a Normal or Ground Device in a Slot.

Procedure

Either:Right-click the slot in the Design Browser (Design tab) or Diagram Window and choose Connector Map.

Click on the slot, press Space Bar and enter Connector Map.

The Connector Map Dialog Box displays and the Footprint Mappings table lists the footprint connectors and their mappings.

If you want to change the slot connector to which a footprint connector is mapped, click the Slot Connector - Harness field for that mapping and select the required connector from the drop-down list.Note You can create a new slot connector by selecting from the drop-down list.
When the mappings are correct, click OK. Caution After you have re-mapped the connectors in a slot, you may need to manually delete any slot connectors that are no longer mapped and that you do not want to keep in the design. You can delete only slot connectors that are not part of a footprint.
