Schematic Capture : Wiring and Editing
Wire
The following will explain wire placement and editing.
Wires are electrical lines that connect pins to pins in a component.
Connections that are connected by wires become a Netlist.
With Quadcept, along with wiring, a wire Net Name is automatically created and merged,
and the latest status of the Net is always maintained.

You can confirm the Net Name by selecting a wire => [Net Name] in the [Property Window].
When you want to specify a Net Name, refer to Placing Labels.
| Wire |
| Wire is the operation for creating wires by manually specifying corners. Detailed corner specification is possible, so it is possible to execute leading according to your desire. If you want to wire quickly, use the Auto Wiring/Parallel Wire and other functions together. The following is the operation for Wire. |

 |
When correcting leading after wiring, Changing Wire Routing/Auto Interpolation of Wires works, so correction can be done while maintaining wire connections.
To end at the middle of a wire (wire pending), you can end by double clicking.
You can confirm wires ended in the middle using "Unconnected wire end points." in ERC .
By dragging a Pin Point such as for components and power supplies, wires can be drawn quickly, which is convenient.
Each Operation for Drawing Wires
The following will explain each operation for drawing a wire.
For wires, manual detailed corner specification is possible, so it is possible to execute leading according to your desire.
