Create Electrical Schematics and Circuit Diagrams

Crossing Lines
If two lines cross in your diagram, it can be difficult to know whether they intersect or simply pass over each other. You can solve the problem by using a Line Hop to indicate wire or circuits that do not intersect.

Just right-click on one of the lines and choose Line Hops from the menu that pops up. Or click on the Line Hops button on the Electrical Engineering SmartPanel. You will be able to choose the style and size of the line hop.

Adding Arrowheads to Your Schematic
Many diagrams indicate the flow of materials or current from one point to another with arrowheads. SmartDraw makes it easy by offering automatic arrowheads in dozens of different styles.

You can add arrowheads to any line by right clicking on it and choosing Arrowheads from the menu or by clicking on Arrowheads from the the Tools menu.

If you choose custom, you can choose from over two dozen styles and configurations, choose a size, as well as displacement.

Once you've applied a style of arrowhead, all consequent lines will be drawn using the same style.
