Multi-Connecting Pins

You can add multiple wires or nets using the Multi-connect functionality.

Tip

Using the Multi-connect functionality is often quicker than adding multiple wires or nets individually.

Procedure

1. Press the space bar and enter Multi-connect, and then select Multi-connect by Wire or Multi-connect by Nets from the Search Ribbon dropdown list. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+W to add multiple wires or Ctrl+Shift+N to add multiple nets.

2. Select the pins at the first end of each wire / net:Drawing a box around the pins.

Press Ctrl and select the pins in turn, and then release Ctrl.

The selected pins are colored red and numbered in sequence and a gray shadow connection is displayed.

3. Indicate the pins at the second end of each wire / net:Drawing a box around the pins.

Clicking the pins in turn.

Selected pins are colored green with dashed lines indicating the proposed connectivity. You can right-click and select Backup or press Backspace to amend incorrect selections of target pins.

4. Once all the connections have been placed, press the Enter key or click (anywhere) to commit.

Results

The dashed connection lines change to solid. The adding of multiple wires onto a stacked pin is supported as is multi-pin terminations.

Note

In Multi-connect mode you can also add connections to points without pins. If you select a point on the edge of an object, a new pin is added; if you select a point elsewhere, a dangling connection is added, which can later be connected to a pin.

Tip

You can cancel the operation at any point in the Multi-connect action by right-clicking and selecting Cancel or by pressing the Esc key.
