Hi,
On a schematic i have used BNC connectors that are in fact pannel mounted.
How can i affect NO footprint to them so i can pass the checks ?
Thanks,
Patrick
Please study the Appendix in section (2.3) in section (2) of:

@TK5EP
I think @andyfierman is trying to point you in the direction of creating your own footprint for the provision of connection to the off-pcb component. After all, if the component isn't directly connected to the board then it shouldn't be in the schematic per-se, rather just some connection points for it should be allowed for.
Only you know how you intend to connect a panel mounted component to the PCB so only you can dicide what provision you make on the PCB for it. If you need to label whatever 'attachment points' you choose, on the PCB, so it's obvious what they are for then your own custom footprint would be the way to go.
For a BNC this could be as simple as just two pads, with big enough holes for the connecting wires so thats all you would need in the schematic, the actual component becomes rather irrelevant if its not directly mounted on the board.
Regards.
@TK5EP,
Sorry, my mistake.

describes and illustrates in the examples, how you use the **Add to BOM** and **Convert to PCB** attributes of the Schematic Symbols to deal with off-board components.
HI,
@mrtom528
Thanks. I would prefer to have a complete schematic with all parts, including the off-board one. This makes the schematic more readable and represents the complete project.
@andyfierman
Ha ha... Now it makes sense. I will go through your very detailed and impressive documentations ! Certainly a bunch of work !?
I will try to understand that, english not being my mother language..
Thanks a lot,
