As project get more complex, I find myself using more and more high pin count connectors. Currently I have been creating connectors with multiple sections and grouping pins that way, but I am wanting to be able to improve the readability of my schematics, and I am thinking the old way of breaking apart and jumping pins is a better method of showing these connectors in schematics. what methods have you been using for these situations. having connectors with 100+ pins and simply grouping them has worked, but can make the schematics confusing visually. is there a better way to do this? a way to make each pin separate but art of the same package would be ideal that way I can group the pins as I choose but still be able to map to a PCB footprint. This is th ideal situation rather than creating new parts for each project with different pin groupings.
