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. |
Links |
Draws a circuit that connects devices in two different Vectorworks files |
