Simplifying complex and many connections

autodeskguest

I'm working on a schematic with several pairs of 40 pin connectors where

one PCB connector connects to a 40 pin IDC ribbon cable connector (i.e.

pin 1-1, in 2-2 etc.).

In other words, an awful mess when attaching wires between these pins.

 

I seem to recall a feature in Eagle which allows for attaching the wires

correctly as usual in the PCB layout but does away with the mess in the

schematic.

Also, is there a quick way to attach those wires between the same

numbered pins of two connectors? It takes an awful long time to do it

manually.

 

I'm using Eagle 7.2.0 on the Mac OSX platform. Thanks.

    Hi,

    take a look about netlist.

    if you export the netlist of your porjekt you see

    some line like

    Net      Part     Pad

     

    +5V      C2       2

              C3       +

     

    If you name your nets like P1-1

     

    you can make a net list

    Net     Part     Pad

     

    P1-1     PCB1     1

         IDC1     1

     

    P2-2     PCB1     2

         IDC1     2

         

    And import this in your schmeatic.

    (i cannot proof this at the moment, but give it a try)
