Add or edit connector pin occurrence properties

Property data can be added or modified on the connector pin occurrence. Connector pin occurrences inherit the general properties that were created at the part level, as well as unique occurrence properties that are stored within the assembly in which they are placed. When specific properties are needed for the connector pin occurrence in an assembly, you can override the part-level property value with an occurrence property value. If the pin is part of a group, any changes are applied to all pins in the group.

In the Connector Pin Properties dialog box for an occurrence, part-level properties added to the pin are displayed with a dark background. Part-level properties on the pin can be replaced by the occurrence, and then restored to their original part-level value, as needed.
