Wiring Components
Multicap 9 User Guide 4-23
By default, Multicap “skips over” (avoids) components to which it is not connected. For
example:
To pass through intermediary components instead, position the wire at the desired location
beside the intermediary component and press S
HIFT on your keyboard while dragging the
wire. For example:
3. Click on the desired pin of the second component to finish the connection. The wire snaps
to an appropriate configuration and the connection is numbered.
Note To stop the wiring process at any time, press E
SC on your keyboard.
To delete a wire, click on it and press D
ELETE on your keyboard or right-click on it and choose
Delete from the pop-up menu that appears.
4.5.3 Combining Automatic and Manual Wiring
You can combine the two methods of wiring when placing a single wire. When in autowiring
mode, Multicap assumes you always want to perform automatic wiring until you click
somewhere, which “locks” the wire to that point (this is manual wiring). Multicap then
continues with automatic wiring, until you click once more—either at a destination pin or
wire to complete the connection, or at another interim point on the wire you are placing. This
method allows you to use automatic wiring for most connections, and use manual wiring only
for difficult, critical or sensitive paths.
4.5.4 Marking Pins for No Connection
You can place NC (no connection) markers on selected component pins to prevent
inadvertantly wiring to these pins.
The wire “skips” this
component.
The wire passes through
this component.
