I've never played around with routing and I have a simple project that I thought I'd cut my teeth with. I watched a few videos and I understand the concept of routing from a connector to another connector and then adding a wire. However, my simple project doesn't utilize connectors. I have a two conductor wire connecting two PCBs and the wire is soldered to pads on each of the PCBs. so I don't have a connector to place on either of the PCBs to route between. How do I route this wire?
I've manually created the wire but as I said, I just thought it'd be a good starting project to try routing but I managed to find a situation that though seemingly simple, hasn't been addressed by any of the videos or tutorials I found.
I have a couple other projects where we have ribbon cables that are soldered into plated thru holes and I'd like to be able to route those as well.
do I just have to create dummy connectors that represent the thru holes or solder tabs and "assemble" those onto the components to force the wires/routes to go where I want them?
