Cables and Doglegs are both used in Schematic environments to show connections between products. The Dogleg is a special case of the Cable object since it only contains three segments (two horizontal lines and one vertical) and it shows special behaviour when using the Edit Node cursor.  Use Doglegs for simple left-to-right connections as shown in Figure 1, and use Cables for more complicated routing, as shown in Figure 2.
