Number fields can be edited with mouse wheel if you pass with cursor over them. If they are inside a scroll area, you must first click to get focus on them and then scroll to change number.

Nodes Tab

In object Properties dialog, the "Nodes" tab shows a list of all nodes referencing the object. Double clicking on an item will show (or raise if already open) circuit view and center it on selected node.

If Shift is held while clicking, a new view is opened regardless if other views exist for same circuit. If Alt is held while clicking, the zoom level in the view will not be raised if below 100%.

Editing modes

Default

You can:

  • Add/delete nodes in circuits.
  • Rotate nodes (Right click clockwise or Shift + Right click counterclockwise).
  • Flip nodes (Ctrl + Right click for deviator contact nodes, simple nodes and combinator relay power nodes).
  • Rotate node label position (Ctrl + Shift + Right click).
  • Add/Remove cables.

You can move only one node at a time by dragging it. You cannot move cables. To place the node over an existing cable, hold Shift while releasing mouse. Cable will be splitted into 2 segments.

Double click on a node/cable to show editing dialog.

This is default mode. If you are in another mode, press Esc to return to Default mode.

Use Ctrl + Z during editing to undo last cable segment.

  • Shift + Left click on a existing cable.
  • Double click on an existing cable, then Edit Path in the dialog.
  • Press Cable on edit toolbar to create a new cable.

Selection mode

In this mode you can select multiple nodes and cables to delete them, move them, or copy paste them. You cannot rotate nodes or edit cable path.
