Connecting every wire from two big multipin connectors

Hi all,

Hope this question hasn’t been answered yet. I wasn’t able to find it here or in google so maybe someone can help.

Perhaps I’m just being lazy but I need to add nets to some large multi-pin connectors a lot like this:

And ultimately they should look sorta like this:

The second one I did by creating a group and copying but none of the nets are actually connected.

The connector shown is just an example though, the actual connectors I will be using have 68 pins, so you might could imagine how much of a hassle it would be to connect all those nets manually.

I thought that I accidentally found something that would auto-connect parts but i wasn’t able to reproduce it.

Basically I’m just trying to see if there’s some build in function that will auto connect pins of the same name.

I suppose using the “names” could help?

Any way, any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

You need to use BUS, not NET to connect to the connectors’ pins. Then you can break out each net (i.e. pin 1) and connect them to the resistors. BTW it looks like you have shorted out the resistors. I see a net line going through the resistors.
