The Cable is a tool designed specifically to draw connection diagrams such as system schematics or PCB layouts. It is similar to the Dogleg Tool, but offers more flexibility as Cables can contain as many segments as you like. Cables are designed to connect the input and output stubs of symbols in the Block Schematic and Pictorial Schematic environments.
To draw a Cable, click once to start, once at each corner point or node, and doubleclick to finish.
