#1 Link Terminal strips from different pages

Good evening,

I have several terminal strips declared in different pages of a project (a panel on a machine in ground level and a panel on the roof of a building) , and would like to make a page for the milticore wire connection between them. However, I cannot seem to use the terminals on morethan 1 page. 

I was hoping to do something like this (https://my.skycad.ca/forums/all-tutorials/inserting-multicore-cables) but spread on different pages, or even a harness linking the 2 (or more) terminal strips involved. 

Is it possible?  Or should it be done some other way? 

Kind regards,

Thanks for posting on the forum.

I have several terminal strips declared in different pages of a project (a panel on a machine in ground level and a panel on the roof of a building) , and would like to make a page for the milticore wire connection between them.
There are a couple different options:

  • You could simply use the cable's wire list, which shows where each wire in the cable is connected (see this tutorial at 4:20). The cable's wire list template can be modified to include extra columns with extra information if you want. 
  • The cabling information could be shown as text on the terminal strip layout views, similar to what is shown in this forum post

I was hoping to do something like this (https://my.skycad.ca/forums/all-tutorials/inserting-multicore-cables) but spread on different pages,
This is possible using OPRs, instead of using cable indicator symbols.

or even a harness linking the 2 (or more) terminal strips involved. 
This is not possible as shown in your "Sheet 3" image.

Please let us know if this helps.
