Hi,
I'm going to create a circuit plan with QCad. For the wiring from a terminal A to a terminal B I don't like to draw all single lines, as the crossing and curving lines logically are not important.
So I was guessing about a feature, that I can't find. Is there a way to have reference points, like a Reference A is pointing to a reference B? So hovering A will highlight B or something?
I thought about different approaches for connecting some all sockets of a terminal A to a distant terminal B:
* Adding numbered references like #A003, #A004 as text on each side.
* Drawing direct lines between the sockets on a layer that can just be hidden (still confusing)
* Drawing the lines in the correct order and position: Here the problem is that the connecting wire as a line is not one single object. I would need to make blocks of each wire for hiding the single wire.
Any other idea? I know there is better circuit design software, but I do everything in QCad, and it is only to design the position of all modules and wiring.

Ok, at least this one can be achieved with a poly-line.massimo wrote:* Drawing the lines in the correct order and position: Here the problem is that the connecting wire as a line is not one single object. I would need to make blocks of each wire for hiding the single wire.

Re: Reference points for circuit plans
Hi,
1. Point = Start wire
2. Point = End wire
Create a block with Point 1 + 2 / reference is one of this points,
Hovering with the mouse over one point will highlight both points .....
