Multi-Endpoint Harness
Build a multi-endpoint harness with a 14-pin source connector (C1) fanning out through branch points to multiple endpoint types: a 4-pin connector (P1), a second connector (C2), a splice feeding C3, a ferrule (F1), quick connects (QC1, QC2), and flying leads (LW1, LW2). This example covers the full range of endpoint and termination types available in Project Mode.
Place Components and Branch Points
Lay Out All Elements
Place all components and branch points before drawing any bundles. C1 is the 14-pin source; P1, C2, C3 are the main endpoints. F1, QC1, QC2, LW1, LW2 are inline termination components.
Draw Bundles — Establish Topology
Draw All Bundles
Draw all 14 bundles to establish the physical topology before adding any conductors. The layout should match the tree structure visible in the final schematic.
Connect C1 to P1 — Pins 1–4
Open Bulk Connect
Right-click C1 and select Bulk Connect, then click P1 as the target.
Map Pins 1–4
Set wire colors for pins 1–4 (red, orange, green, blue), apply 1:1, and click Create Connections.
Verify Routing
Four conductors now run from C1 to P1 through the topology.
Connect C1 to C2 — Pins 5–7 and 14
Bulk Connect to C2
Bulk Connect C1 to C2 — map pins 5, 6, 7 and 14 from C1 to pins 1–4 on C2. Set wire colors to match.
Verify C2 Connections
C2 is now fully connected. C1 pins 5, 6, 7, and 14 run to C2 pins 1–4.
Connect C1 Pin 8 to C3 via Splice
Add Conductor to Branch Point
Add a conductor from C1 pin 8 to the branch point near C3. Convert it to a splice at the branch point.
Create Splice
SP1 is now a connection target. Both C3 pin 1 and C3 pin 2 will connect to this splice.
Connect C3 to Splice
Connect both C3 pins 1 and 2 to SP1 — either by clicking the splice as a target in Schematic view, or via the pin assignment in Properties.
Connect C1 Pin 9 — Ferrule (F1)
Add Ferrule Conductor
Connect C1 pin 9 to F1. The ferrule documents the wire end treatment for this conductor.
Connect C1 Pins 10–11 — Quick Connects (QC1, QC2)
Add Quick Connect Conductors
Connect C1 pins 10 and 11 to QC1 and QC2 respectively. Quick connects are placed as components on the canvas.
Connect C1 Pins 12–13 — Flying Leads (LW1, LW2)
Add Flying Lead Conductors
Connect C1 pins 12 and 13 to LW1 and LW2. Flying leads terminate without a mating connector — the endpoint is the lead itself.
