Wire routing

When you connect two components, NumaSim routes the wire automatically. You can choose between several strategies depending on how much control you want.

Available strategies

• Right-angle (default) — orthogonal segments with a single midpoint elbow. Best for typical schematics.
• Manhattan — orthogonal multi-segment routing that hugs the canvas grid. Best for dense layouts.
• Metro — straight orthogonal lines with rounded corners, metro-map style. A pretty default for documentation diagrams.
• Incremental — preserves your hand-drawn vertices as you move components. Best when you want full manual control.

Picking a strategy

The default for new circuits is right-angle. To change it:

1. Open the settings dialog.
2. Pick a different strategy from the wire-routing dropdown.
3. New wires use the new strategy. Existing wires keep their current routing (so a strategy change doesn't reshape an entire circuit).

Editing a single wire

Click a wire to select it, then:

• Drag a segment to nudge the route.
• Drag a vertex to add a bend.
• Right-click a vertex and pick Remove to straighten.

The visible "drag handles" are powered by the underlying routing strategy — what's reachable depends on which strategy the wire was drawn with.

Touch support

On touch devices, long-press a wire to open its menu. Pinch-zoom the canvas to make narrow segments easier to grab.
