The following will explain how to place power supplies (power supplies and grounds).

A power supply is a symbol for expressing the voltage reference point.
With Quadcept, Power Supply Name is handled as the Net Name, so power supplies with the same Net Name are recognized as connected even when they are power supplies with different shapes (port and label).

Power Supply Name = Net Name

Power supplies have been prepared in advance, but you can also add new ones and edit shapes.
For more details, refer to Creating Power Supplies.
