I hate to even ask this as its probably obvious, but how do you make the wires do a clean right angle like in aliasant's screen shot at this link. [old link] I just want to clean up some of my schematics so this would be helpful and I know its probably in the manual somewhere.? Thanks 🙂

Have you every visited the Options - Advanced - Link Curvature? 🙂

That, or use 2 link anchors. I try not to use wire angles at all, due to if someone has a different setting the links will look bad & maybe un-understandable. I do use angles when making "backwards" wires though.

Ah.. ok I see. So you cant do this on a per wire basis by holding an option key. I think I will stick with curves. Thank you for the answer.

@infuzion Not sure quit what you mean but I think maybe you mean make a component that gos straight through and use that for right angles?
One other question, how do you get the link curvature slider back to its default position once you changed it?

Oh no I hate those, unless it is one to many, or many to one, or changing data type trick. This is what I mean, see the 2 white dots? This is with SM's default curve.

Well that's the way I will do it then. Thanks

Interesting discussion, guys )) Visual representation is a very important part of schematic; in some sense it reveals creator's mind flow. I learned some things from psychology etc. So exact, clean angles reveal two things - exactness but formality. Smooth, curved lines show flexibility but uncertainty. Kinda feng shui hehe 😈

Well "Ctrl - Z" works always and many times; or I mess smth?

@lesobrod Thanks but what I meant was how to get the slider under Options - Advanced - Link Curvature back to its default position once you have changed it. Turns out that it snaps somewhat so I guessed at what was dead center and hope it snapped back correct. You might ask why I would care? Well as infuzion pointed out.

I was hoping to be able make some real clean schematics with right angles to share here at the forum but as infuzion made clear its probably better to run at default curvature.

I'm always glad to see you comment, you always get me thinking. I ask a stupid question about link curvature and you somehow make it interesting by pointing out things like it reveals creator's mind flow. 🙂 Or like the other day here.
