Configure Additional Connectors

Use the skills you learned to add pins and RefDes placeholders to two other parts, and then author the connectors.

1. Edit the part 360575:1. Use the Pin command to add pins at each hole. Name the pins to match their number label.
   
2. Use the Harness Properties command to assign the RefDes placeholder U? and add the custom Vendor property with value ACME.
3. Use the Connector Authoring command to set the outward direction for the connector. Select the top face to set the outward direction.
4. In the browser, edit part 360575:2 and notice how this occurrence inherits the pins set in 360575:1. After you pin the part once, all occurrences inherit the pins.
5. In the browser, expand the PCB subassembly to locate and edit part LTP. Use the Pin command to add the pins as shown. Pin 1 is the pin closest to part 360124.
   
6. Use the Harness Properties command to assign the RefDes placeholder J? and add the custom Vendor property with value ACME.
7. Use the Connector Authoring command to set the outward direction for the connector. Select the top face to set the outward direction.
8. Return to the top-level assembly and save the assembly for use in the next tutorial.
