The splice symbol is an in-line connection symbol allowing one or more wires
to connect at each end. The default splice symbol triggers a wire number
change through the symbol.

drop-down ➤ Insert Splice.
The Splice Symbols dialog box displays.

the Type it box, or click Browse to browse to and select the symbol from
another location.
3 Click OK.
4 Pick the insertion point on the drawing. Place the symbol on an existing
wire, causing the symbol to break the wire or place it in empty space
(where you can later draw a wire through the symbol or connect one or
more wires to each end of it).
The Insert/Edit Component dialog box displays.
