Editing circuitsEditing circuitsYou can change the type of an existing circuit from the Object Info palette Circuit Type parameter. For example, change an arrow type to a polyline type of circuit.
Circuit lengths appear in various worksheets; in the Object Info palette of one or more selected circuits, either set the Cable Length directly, or select Auto. Auto uses the Calculate Cable Lengths command to calculate the lengths while accounting for additional cable length requirements for maintenance, rack dimensions, and so on. See Estimating circuit lengths automatically.
Existing polyline-type circuits can be reshaped and realigned with the Reshape tool, which is available from both the Basic and the Schematics tool sets (or simply by double-clicking on a circuit). See Reshaping objects. Connections between sockets are maintained, as they are when a device is moved around.
If a circuit becomes disconnected from its socket or the socket cannot be found, it displays with <DISCONNECTED>.
Specialized “in line” tools detail the schematic layout; see Placing specialized devices. These tools all create device objects that may consist of one or two sockets. These devices subdivide a circuit into two when inserted over a circuit.
Circuits can also indicate priority with a hop over, and circuits can be aligned, re-routing them for a cleaner schematic drawing or for creating bussed circuits.
