Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Cannot create a connector between a referenced part and the diagram edge
Problem conclusion
As a general rule, a connector is allowed to be drawn between parts or part's ports only. An exception for this rule is a connector to a port on an IBD diagram frame. This kind of connector comes to describe the connections between a composite block (diagram owner) to its internal parts. Hence, connecting a foreign part to an IBD diagram frame port is not allowed. Therefore on "Connecting to a Diagram Edge" IBD you can not connect a referenced part to a port on the diagram edge. However, on "Connecting to a Part" diagram a connector between the referenced part and "main:Main" part is a classic connector between two parts.
