I came across that one last night and have it installed and testing
it. The only thing is I could not find a symbol for a terminal strip.
Also, can you tell me how to place a heavy DOT where two lines
intersect on the schematic where they are supposed to join?
Is there a place where you can find more symbols for it? I think in a
few hours time one could become proficient in it. I still need to
learn how to adjust sizes and get the text to align inside the symbols
correctly, it's not automatic centering. I'm probably doing something
wrong... maybe I should read the instructions as a last resort.. he
he..
I don't have a solution for the dot problem because I prefer the
convention that says that four-way crosses are noni-ntersecting and use
staggered T-junctions for places where 4 wires meet--less chance to
confuse my students.
For a terminal strip you can us pretty much any connector type, since
the connectors are basically just named points on the sheet, or just
build your own to make it look the way you want. It is really easy to
create new components and put them in the library.
And, yes, you probably should look at the instructions. They tend to be
concise and complete.
Brian.
