    Cannot create a connector between a referenced part and the
    diagram edge
    

Problem conclusion

  • As a general rule, a connector is allowed to be drawn
    between parts or part's ports only.
    An exception for this rule is a connector to a port on an
    IBD diagram frame.
    This kind of connector comes to describe the connections
    between a composite block (diagram owner) to its internal
    parts.
    Hence, connecting a foreign part to an IBD diagram frame
    port is not allowed.
    Therefore on "Connecting to a Diagram Edge" IBD you can not
    connect a referenced part to a port on the diagram edge.
    However, on "Connecting to a Part" diagram a connector
    between the referenced part and "main:Main" part is a
    classic connector between two parts.
