Inserting a Partial Connector in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
This article shows you how to define a connector that only displays specific pins in SOLIDWORKS Electrical.
After creating and inserting a multi-pin connector (in this example, four pins of a 10 pin connector are displayed), edit the component properties.
Select the Manufacturer part and circuits tab.
The green boxes indicate pins that are associated with a symbol in the scheme, the blue boxes show available pins that do not have a symbol associated with them. You can drag the pins around in this dialog, in this case, I have dragged the green boxes to the position of the pins I want to represent in the schematic.
The result is that the scheme now represents pins seven through ten.
