You can use the Symbol structure section in the dockable panel to
manage symbol circuits.
The circuits are numbered from 0 to
nanosecond, generally from left to right (or top to bottom) in relation to the
symbol insertion point. The software manages several types of circuits,
corresponding to the type of electrical component.
The symbol
circuits must match the circuits of the manufacturer part to be associated with the
symbol. For more information, see Manufacturer Part Properties.

A dialog box opens that
lets you select the circuit characteristics:
| Option |
Description |
| Number |
Enter the number of circuits that you want to add. |
| Circuit type |
Select the type of circuit. The list depends on the class of the
symbol. To access the entire circuit list, select the More circuit
types. |
| Information transmission |
Defines whether the circuit must allow certain information to pass
through, such as the phase or equipotential number.
- Disconnectable. (Only allows the phase number to pass.) Used on
the majority of schematic symbols. The equipotential number is
different between the incoming and outgoing connection
points.
- Passing. (Equipotential pass through symbols) A passing
circuit is a circuit where the equipotential is continued between two connection
points, but for each point of the circuit, there is a distinct wire cabling
order.
- Hyper passing. (Equipotential pass through symbols) A hyper
passing circuit is used when you want to have the same
equipotential wire number on two or more different circuits
using components that are linked and have an identical circuit
and connection point data (for examole, a busbar distribution
block split into segments. Wires do not go through
circuits).
- Hyper hyper passing. (Equipotential and wires pass
through symbols) A hyper hyper passing circuit connects up two or more symbols
with the same connection point details (for example, screen and will continue the
equipotential between these points). The connection points, however, are not
detailed in connection reports as they are transparent as if the wire is directly
connected between the two end components. The typical case is origin-destination
arrows.
The properties of the circuit appear in the lower part of the dockable
panel.
