Draw a Schematic diagram that does not use PCB footprints

mbdssysm
mbdssysm over 14 years ago

Hi

Some times as part of a project certain parts of the design will be hard wired and these need to be documented ,

 

When designing a schematic symbol, Is there a way to make schematic symbols without an associated pcb footprint?

 

For example:

connecting mains filter, switch and transformer together that are not on a pcb.

 

Summary:

Do I need to create a separate circuit diagram for these components or is there a way of including them on the circuit diagram but not on the pcb layout?

 

Help much appreciated

 

Stephen

    I made a lbr containing a lot of symbols not on brd. Description is in

    german. You can use it as an example. Use 7zip to unpack.

    If you do NOT want to create special library parts for that, please see

    the thread 'Adding parts to schematic not on the board' in

    'eagle.suggest.eng', especially my answer from 2011-03-18, where I

    attached a corresponding ULP.
