Auto Interpolation of Wires

Wire interpolation is preformed automatically according to wire movement and the movement of components and pins connected to the wire.
Therefore, wire connections and Net connections are maintained for all types of changes to a wire.

The following will explain an example of wire auto interpolation when a component is moved. (Moving a ReferenceCN2 Component)

Changing Wire Routing

By specifying rerouting when wiring, the wire route is changed automatically without looping.
When changing the routing, you can change the wire routing without having to delete unnecessary wires, which reduces work time.

The following is an example of changing routing.

Editing Attributes (Net Name/Line Width/Net Color)

It is possible to set the "Net Name", "Line Width", and "Net Color" in wire attributes.
Attributes apply to the Net, so they will apply to all wires with the same Net Name.

Select and double click
Select and right click => [Show Attribute]

Editing Attributes

It is possible to edit attributes such as color and thickness.

(1) Select and double click   Or Right click Select => [Show Attribute].

(2) Edit the attribute and then click "OK".

It will be changed. * It will be performed for wires with the same Net Name.

* Attributes can also be confirmed and edited from the Property Window.

When the Net Color is set, it is automatically registered in the Design Instructions.

 

Net Merge

In Quadcept, when wires with different Net Names are connected, it is possible to select a Net Name in order to maintain consistency.
The following are objects for which the Net Name can be specified.
