I've noticed that many newer schematics just show a labeled "box" such as "J1-2" to designate a connector pin (John's "load cell input circuit" on ABSE is a good example). Historically it seemed as though -- while it was common to have "off page" connectors with, e.g., a net name such as "MClk", eventually you made it to a drawing of, say, a DB-9 connector as one single entity.
I can see the utility of these "broken apart" connectors -- it's certainly faster for the guy entering the schematic -- although I've liked being able to see from the schematic what sort of *physical* connector I should be looking for on a PCB (e.g., DB-9, double-row header, etc.) as well.
Anyone have their own opinions on this? I think I'm trying to convince myself that the "broken" connectors are the way to go and that I really won't miss having a physical connector shown. :-)
