Highways and Single Lines

Highways and single lines can both be used to organize and simplify the layout of wires on a diagram.

Highways are used as containers to organize multiple wires that route through the same path. For example, if two devices are connected by multiple wires, you can add these wires to a highway to simplify the representation of the wires on the diagram.

Single lines represent a simplified view of the multicore cables that connect devices, without including the pin connections of each core, which you can create later on the detailed wiring diagram.

Aspect Highways Single Lines
Purpose Organize and simplify multiple wires. Represent logical connections.
Function Acts as a container. Denotes connections without detailing.
Connection Requirements Requires predefined stacked pins. Does not require pins.
