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
A splice is made by routing a conductor through a branch point and then splitting it there — so make the connection as usual first, then splice it at the branch point.
Connect C1 Pin 8 to C3 Pin 1
Connect C1 pin 8 to C3 pin 1 the same way as any other pin — the conductor routes through the branch point near C3 (labeled S1).
Convert to Splice at the Branch Point
Select the branch point S1. On its pass-through conductor, click Convert to splice (split wire at branch point) — the split icon. The conductor splits at S1 and becomes splice SP1, joining C1 pin 8 and C3 pin 1. Choose its part: Butt Splice 22-24 AWG. (S1 is the branch point; SP1 is the splice that now lives on it.)
Add C3 Pin 2 to the Splice
SP1 can now be used as a connection target. Connect C3 pin 2 to SP1 — either by selecting it as the target in Schematic view, or via the pin assignment in Properties. C3 pin 1 is already on SP1 from the split, so SP1 is now a 3-way splice joining C1.8, C3.1, and C3.2.
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.
