Schematic

The Schematic view is a visual representation of all the electrical connections in your harness. In this view you can add Connector, Terminal, Splice, Diode, and Resistor Components and connect them together with Wires, Twisted Wires or Cables. You can then assign specific Parts to each component.


Canvas

This is where Components are placed and connected together with Wires.

right-click anywhere on the canvas to open the context menu and add Components.

right-click any component to assign a Part.

Moving with the Arrow Keys

Press the arrow keys (↑ ↓ ← →) to move the selected components one grid unit at a time. Everything that would move with them in a drag moves too, such as their wiring tables, pinouts and part images. The keys act on the view under the cursor (or the only one open), in both the Schematic and Layout views. Contents of a locked group don’t move.
