After 6 months I finally answered the mystery of how terminal connectors and header connectors should look in schematic view when they are fully connected. I have the free version of Eagle installed and basically, have found that the symbol should indeed have box round it and that PCB / breadboard side connects to the tail end of the straight line 'stalk' whilst the male connector or inserted wire should connect side of the circular ring opposite the stalk. I am not sure how this can best be implemented in Fz. With the Camden Boss terminals I think it should be relatively easy, as I have two connector to play with, but I am not so sure about the standard male and female headers. I don't think playing with the size and position of the connector##pin and connector##terminal shapes will give the desired effect, but I will have a play at some point.
@steelgoose: one question I have been wrestling with is the correct size of connector##terminals in schematic view. I tried setting both the width and height of the rectangle to 0 and got told off by somebody on the forums, yet I found recently when working with a customized version of one of the op amp parts, I could not get the terminals to work properly unless they were zero size. Basically the wire would snap to the pin mid-point instead of the terminal. Can you clarify on this please?
Thanks
