How to fix a cable you've already drawn
WhereElectricsClick the cable and it will be selected.
A selected cable shows circles at its vertices and small squares in the middle of its segments. The cable under the cursor is highlighted.
Buttons and keys
| What to press | What happens |
|---|---|
| Draga circle | moves the vertex; at a device it sticks to the device |
| Draga square | adds a vertex in the middle of the segment |
| ×2Double-clicka circle | removes a vertex in the middle of the route (a cable keeps at least two). The ends of the route, vertices at devices and the transition to another floor can't be removed this way: they hold the connection |
| Dragthe segment itself | moves it sideways: a horizontal one up and down, a vertical one left and right |
| Shift+drag | moves the whole cable |
| Ctrlwhile dragging | no snapping |
| Ctrl+D | a copy of the cable next to it |
| Delete | deletes the cable |

| Drag | by the segment itself: moves it sideways, right angles are kept |
| Shift+Drag | moves the whole cable; links to devices are removed |
| Ctrl | no snapping: the point goes under the cursor |
| Ctrl+D | a copy of the cable next to it, without links to devices and without a group |
| Delete | delete the selection |
What's important to know
- When a segment is moved, the end of the route and the vertex at a device stay in place: a step appears there, and right angles are kept.
- When the whole cable is moved, links to devices are removed: the device stays where it was.
- A copy of the cable is placed without links to devices and without a group.
