In modes other than Any Angle, the line segment attached to the cursor is a look ahead segment.You can change modes at any time during signal harness placement. During placement, the current placement mode is displayed in the Status bar.While in the 90 Degree or 45 Degree mode (known as true orthogonal modes), press Spacebar to cycle between the Start and End sub-modes.Press Shift+Spacebar to cycle through the 90 Degree, 45 Degree and Any Angle modes.The mode specifies how corners are created when placing signal harnesses and the angles at which signal harnesses can be placed. When placing a signal harness there are three placement modes, two of which have Start and End sub-modes. While attributes can be modified during placement ( Tab to bring up associated properties dialog), keep in mind that these will become the default settings for further placement. Use the Backspace or Delete keys to remove the last harness segment placed.Continue placing further signal harness objects, or right-click or press Esc to exit placement mode.After placing the final vertex point, right-click or press Esc to complete placement of the signal harness.Position the cursor and click or press Enter to anchor a series of vertex points that define the shape of the signal harness.Click or press Enter to anchor the starting point for the signal harness.Placement is made by performing the following sequence of actions: PlacementĪfter launching the command, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and you will enter signal harness placement mode. Signal Harnesses are available for placement in the Schematic Editor only by clicking Home | Circuit Elements | from the main menus. They allow for a more complex design within the same schematic workspace, increasing readability of designs and building potential for re-use. Signal Harnesses allow for the creation and manipulation of higher level abstract connections between subcircuits in your PCB Projects. It is an abstract connection that enables the logical grouping of different signals including buses, wires and other signal harnesses for increased flexibility and streamlined design. A Signal Harness is an electrical design primitive.
