Interrupting Connections

Autoconnecting can sometimes create unwanted connections in the schematic (e.g., to motor overload switch auxiliary contacts). You can interrupt these connections by inserting a break point between the connection points. A break point is an invisible symbol without connection points that prevents autoconnecting or that interrupts an existing autoconnect line.

Preconditions:

  • You have opened a project. You have opened a project page in the graphical editor.
  • The page contains autoconnect lines.
  1. Select the Insert tab in the ribbon.
  2. In the command group Symbols click the (Other) button and below the Connectors field select the button (Interrupt connection).
  3. Click between the two connection points on the autoconnect line to be interrupted.

    The autoconnect line is interrupted, i.e., the connection is deleted.
  4. Proceed in a similar way for all additional autoconnect lines that are to be interrupted.
  5. End the action via the Cancel action popup menu item or via the [Esc] button.
