About Point-to-Point Wiring Tools

Point-to-Point Style Schematic

Ladder Style Schematic

In addition to the tools specifically related to connectors, you can utilize other AutoCAD Electrical tools for editing your point-to-point wiring diagrams.

Edit Pin Numbers

Use the Edit Component tool to edit the pin assignments on the parametrically generated connectors.

Connector Dash Link Lines

Use the Link Components (Dashed Line) tool to insert dash linked lines between parent and split-off child parametric connector symbols.

Scoot Connector

Use the Scoot tool to reposition the parametric connector along the same direction as the connected wiring.

Scoot Wire

Use the Scoot tool to move wires attached to pins on the connectors. The wire scoots and the connector pin along with it while the overall connector shell stays fixed.

Insert Wires

Use the Insert Wires tool to route single-wire connections. Use the Multiple Wire Bus tool, Component mode, to insert and route multiple wires in one tool.

Note:

A wire connection point should only have up to three wire connections tied to it. Adding more wires to a single point prevents the angled wire connection to tie uniquely to the wire connection point.
