Auto-Wire Multiple Points

The Auto-Connect feature of Capture allows you to connect any number of points (pins or wires) on your schematic with an easy-to-use multi-select auto-wiring feature.

To auto-wire multiple points on a page

1. From the Place menu, choose Auto-Wire then choose Multiple Points.
   Or click the Auto Connect multiple points button on the Draw toolbar.
   Capture is now in the Auto-Wire mode. Notice the cursor changes to the Auto-Wire cursor.
2. Click the pin or wire to start the net.
3. Click the next pin or wire on the net.
4. Continue to click on as many pins or wires as required to create the complete net.
   Note: Since you are in the Multiple Point mode, you do not need to press the Ctrl key to multi-select points on the page.
   Note: Since Capture is in the Multiple Point mode a wire is not dragged as you move the cursor across the page. This is unlike the Two-Point Auto Wire mode.
5. Finally, right-click anywhere on the schematic page and choose Connect.

OR

1. Click the pin or wire to start the net.
