elecworks - Manual & Automatic Equipotential Management – What’s the Difference?

By Miles Nicholson

Manual equipotential markers are placed on an origin wire end and a destination wire end. By forming a pair between the origin and destination wire ends, elecworks assumes a continuation of the same equipotential. The wire is numbered from the origin end. The origin end however can be placed after the destination end. In other words links can be up, down, left or right.

Automatic equipotential markers are automatically placed on both origin and destination wire ends when wire numbers of the same equipotential value have been placed. The direction of these markers follow the Wire and Component Numbering direction set within the Projects configuration (Project Configuration > Mark). This is especially useful when storing circuits as Macros.
