Connecting sockets
 
The Connect tool is in the Schematics tool set.
The Connect tool draws circuit connections between sockets. Circuits follow a logical flow from output to input. Once a circuit connects two device sockets, it maintains the connection between those sockets. If the devices move, the circuits refresh.
The following modes are available:
 
| 
   Mode  | 
  
   Description  | 
| 
   Single Connect  | 
  
   Connects an output/IO socket to an input/IO socket  | 
| 
   Multi Connect  | 
  
   Connects multiple output/IO sockets to input/IO sockets with the same signal  | 
| 
   Polyline  | 
  
   Draws the circuit similar to a polyline with corner vertices; click while drawing to create vertices, routing the circuit around other drawing objects as needed  | 
| 
   Rounded  | 
  
   Draws the circuit with rounded vertices (generally used to denote busses or multi circuits)  | 
| 
   Chamfer  | 
  
   Draws the circuit with chamfered vertices  | 
| 
   Arrow  | 
  
   Draws the circuit with arrows; on the output socket, the arrow indicates the direction of signal flow; the destination input socket displays a “reverse arrow.” This is useful when a polyline circuit would be too complex or would cross over too many lines, or to connect devices on different layers.  |
