With these functions, you can define and remove cross-references:

  • Define cross-reference's primary object – Define cross reference's primary object (usually a contactor). If the symbol has the E_CROSSREF attribute, cross references are marked to it and the attribute is turned on. If you select to show cross references in pins, the E_CROSSREF attribute is turned off.

  • Define cross-reference's secondary object– Define cross reference's secondary object. Primary and secondary objects are linked via ID attributes, so secondary attribute must have an attribute which contains word "E_ID".

  • Remove cross-reference definitions – Remove cross reference definitions from primary and secondary objects.

  • Define a cross-reference between two points manually – Add a generic cross reference between two points.

    Do the following:

    1. Pick reference starting point.
    2. Select the sheet where you want to continue and pick target point of the reference.

      • Continue on sheet – Sheet of the reference end point. Can also be same sheet as the target point.

      • Description of reference pair – Informal description of the reference start and target points.

      • In another file – Reference goes to another drawing.

      • Stay on target sheet – After placing the target point, do not return to starting sheet (default behavior).

Cross references are generated automatically when contacts are inserted.
