Diode

A diode is an electrical component that allows current to flow in only one direction. Each diode can be assigned a diode part.

Adding a Diode

Right-click on the canvas in the Schematic View and select Diode.

Locating a Diode

Diodes are automatically positioned at branch points based on the most efficient wiring path. An automatically placed diode is shown with a dashed arrow line.

You can manually position a diode by dragging its handle in Layout View to any branch point, connector, or terminal in the harness.

To reset a diode to automatic placement, select its location line and press Delete.

Flipping Diode Direction

Right-click a diode in the Schematic or Layout View and select Flip direction to reverse its orientation.
