Standalone destination cross-reference
A destination cross-reference identifies the receiving side of a diagram continuation relationship.
Schematic · HA2D1_REF
What it represents
A destination cross-reference identifies the receiving side of a diagram continuation relationship. The destination marks where the referenced circuit or signal continues from its source. The relationship can span sheets without introducing another device or termination.
Check the source tag and the sheet/location reference after drawing changes. An apparently correct arrow can still point to a stale or unrelated continuation.
How to read it
- Check the source reference and the signal or circuit identity on both sheets.
- A continuation reference does not imply a physical terminal or cable splice.
Information to show or reference
- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Check the source reference and the signal or circuit identity on both sheets.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.
A distinction that matters
A continuation reference does not imply a physical terminal or cable splice.
