To connect the parts
1 From the Place menu, choose Wire to begin wiring
parts.
The pointer changes to a crosshair.
2 Click the connection point (the very end) of the pin on
the off-page connector at the input of the circuit.
3 Click the nearest connection point of the input resistor
R1.
4 Connect the other end of R1 to the output capacitor.
5 Connect the diodes to each other and to the wire
between them:
a Click the connection point of the cathode for the
lower diode.
b Move the cursor straight up and click the wire
between the diodes. The wire ends, and the
junction of the wire segments becomes visible.
c Click again on the junction to continue wiring.
d Click the end of the upper diode’s anode pin.
6 Continue connecting parts until the circuit is wired as
shown in Figure 2 on page 2-16.
To assign names (labels) to the nets
1 From the Place menu, choose Net Alias to display the
Place Net Alias dialog box.
2 In the Name text box, type
Mid.
3 Click OK.
4 Place the net alias on any segment of the wire that
connects R1, R2, R3, the diodes, and the capacitor. The
lower left corner of the net alias must touch the wire.
5 Right-click and choose End Mode to quit the Net Alias
function.
To stop wiring, right-click and choose End
Wire. The pointer changes to the default
arrow.
Clicking on any valid connection point ends
a wire. A valid connection point is shown as
a
box (see Figure 3).
If you make a mistake when placing or
connecting components:
1 From the Edit menu, choose Undo, or
click .
