| Bulk Connect | Connect all pins to a target component by position (pin 1 to pin 1, etc.). Requires pins configured on both components. | |
| Add Bundle to... | Draw a new bundle from this component to another node. Layout mode only. | |
| Mate | Contains: Bulk Mate (multi-pin mating), Add Mate... (select connector and pin), and existing mates list with remove option. | |

| Device Group | Contains: Add to Group / Create New Group / Remove from Group / Select Device Group (shown contextually) | |
| Visual Group | Contains: Add to Visual Group (select existing) / Create Visual Group | |
| Topology | Contains: Convert to Branch Point (convert component to routing junction, removes pins). Not available for flying leads. | |
| Set Size | Contains: Set All Components to This Size, Set All [Category] to This Size, Set All [Shape] Connectors to This Size. Shown when component has a custom size. | |
| Fit to Content | Auto-size component to fit its pins. Submenu includes: Fit to Content, Fit Selected to Content, Fit All [Category] to Content, Fit All Components to Content. | |
| Pages | Toggle page assignment, move to page, or remove from current page. Shown when plan has multiple pages. | |

Branch Points
Right-click on a branch point to access these actions. Topology operations are grouped in the Topology submenu.
| Action | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Topology | Contains: Join Bundles (remove BP, merge connected bundles), Merge Branch Points (absorb another BP into this one), Move to Bundle (reposition BP onto a different bundle), Convert to Component (promote to full component with pins). See Bundle Operations for details. | |
| Reset Label Positions | Reset label sides and offsets for conductors through this branch point. Schematic mode only. | |

Right-click on a bundle to access these actions.
| Action | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|

| Insert Branch Point | Split this bundle at the midpoint, creating a new branch point. The original bundle becomes two bundles, and all conductors pass through the new branch point automatically. | |
| Reroute Conductors... | Move conductors on this bundle to an alternative physical route between their endpoints. Conductors are grouped by endpoint pair, with each group showing available paths. Only appears when at least one conductor has an alternative route through the topology. | |
| Join with... | Join this bundle with an adjacent bundle through a shared branch point, combining them into a single bundle. Only available when the branch point has no splices defined. See Bundle Operations for details. | |
| Consolidate Bundles | Consolidate selected bundles into a trunk structure. Requires multi-selection of 2+ bundles. See Bundle Operations for details. | |
| Redirect... | Change the source or target endpoint of this bundle. When the bundle carries conductors, a second submenu offers:

| Pages | Toggle page assignment or move to page. Shown when plan has multiple pages. | |
| Delete Bundle | Remove this bundle and all of its conductors. Connected pins are disconnected. Associated wire groups, cable assignments, and conductor splices are also cleaned up — any splice left with fewer than two conductors is automatically deleted. |
