Context Menu Reference

Complete reference for every right-click context menu action available in Project Mode. Actions are grouped by the element you right-click on.

Components

Right-click on a component node to access these actions.

Action Icon Description
Change Category submenu category Switch component type. Connector option includes shape submenu (rectangular, circular, D-sub, etc.).
Mating Behavior submenu settings_input_component Set mating rules: Default (from shape), Receptacle, Pin, etc.
Assign Part from BOM submenu inventory_2 Assign a BOM connector part to this component. Lists available parts with MPN and manufacturer. Shown when BOM has connector entries.
Bulk Connect link Connect all pins to a target component by position (pin 1 to pin 1, etc.). Requires pins configured on both components.
Add Bundle to... add_link Draw a new bundle from this component to another node. Layout mode only.
Mate submenu mate Contains: Bulk Mate (multi-pin mating), Add Mate... (select connector and pin), and existing mates list with remove option.
Align Mated Connectors align-to-pins Align connectors mated to this terminal point so their pins line up. Shown for terminal points with mates.
Device Group submenu workspaces Contains: Add to Group / Create New Group / Remove from Group / Select Device Group (shown contextually)
Visual Group submenu crop_free Contains: Add to Visual Group (select existing) / Create Visual Group
Topology submenu account_tree Contains: Convert to Branch Point (convert component to routing junction, removes pins). Not available for flying leads.
Set Size submenu aspect_ratio 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 submenu fit_screen 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 submenu article Toggle page assignment, move to page, or remove from current page. Shown when plan has multiple pages.
Copy Pin Table content_copy Copy pin table to clipboard as TSV (for pasting into Excel). Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+C
Delete delete Remove component from the plan. All connected bundles are also deleted, cascading to their conductors, wire groups, cable assignments, and splices.

Branch Points

Right-click on a branch point to access these actions. Topology operations are grouped in the Topology submenu.

Action Icon Description
Topology submenu account_tree 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 restart_alt Reset label sides and offsets for conductors through this branch point. Schematic mode only.
Delete delete Remove branch point and all connected bundles. Conductors, wire groups, cable assignments, and splices on those bundles are cascaded — any splice left with fewer than two conductors is automatically deleted.

Flying Leads

Right-click on a flying lead to access these actions.

Action Icon Description
Topology submenu account_tree Contains: Convert to Component (promote flying lead to full component with a different category).
Delete delete Remove flying lead

Bundles

Right-click on a bundle to access these actions.

Action Icon Description
Cross Section donut_large View bundle cross-section showing conductor layout
Insert Branch Point add_circle_outline 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... submenu alt_route 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... submenu merge 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 compress Consolidate selected bundles into a trunk structure. Requires multi-selection of 2+ bundles. See Bundle Operations for details.
Redirect... submenu alt_route Change the source or target endpoint of this bundle. When the bundle carries conductors, a second submenu offers:
  • Delete remaining — discard conductor segments beyond the redirected bundle.
  • Keep as new conductors — split the original conductor, preserving leftover segments as new conductors.
Bridge bundles extend conductor paths automatically; loops are trimmed automatically.
Waypoints submenu edit_road Contains: Edit Waypoints (add/move control points for Bezier curves), Clear Waypoints (remove all waypoints), Reset to Default (restore default path routing). Layout mode only.
Pages submenu article Toggle page assignment or move to page. Shown when plan has multiple pages.
Delete Bundle delete 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.

Conductors — Schematic Mode

Right-click on an individual conductor path in Schematic Mode to access these actions.

Action Icon Description
Disconnect from [Pin] link_off Remove conductor's connection to the specified endpoint pin
Disconnect Both Pins link_off Remove conductor from both endpoint pins at once
Reroute via... submenu alt_route Change which bundles this conductor travels through between its endpoints. Lists all valid paths with the current path checked. Only appears when two or more routes exist between the conductor's endpoints.
Show as Label / Show as Wire label Toggle between full wire path and stub + destination label rendering. Label mode replaces long conductor paths with short stubs and boxed endpoint labels. Schematic mode only. See Connection Labels.
Reset Trunk Positions restart_alt Reset this conductor's trunk and tap positions to auto-calculated defaults
Twist with... submenu gesture Create a twisted wire group with another conductor on the same bundle. Submenu lists available conductors. See Wire Groups & Cables.
Add to Wire Group submenu compress Add this conductor to an existing wire group on the same bundle. Submenu lists available groups. Shown when wire groups exist on the bundle.
Add to Cable submenu cable Add this conductor as a core to an existing cable on the same bundle. Submenu lists available cables. Shown when cables exist on the bundle.
Delete Conductor delete Remove this conductor from the bundle entirely. References in wire groups and cable assignments are cleaned up, and any splice that drops below two conductors is automatically deleted.

Pins

Right-click on a component pin to access these actions. The context menu header shows the pin's designator and label (e.g., X1.3 or CB1.V_IN).

Action Icon Description
Disconnect "[Conductor]" link_off Remove a specific conductor from this pin. One entry per connected conductor.
Move "[Conductor]" submenu alt_route Reassign a conductor's pin connection. The submenu lists all component nodes with their pins. Behavior depends on whether the target pin is occupied:
  • Unoccupied pin — click to move the conductor directly to the new pin.
  • Occupied pin (shown with a dot indicator) — opens a sub-submenu with two choices:
    • Move Here — move this conductor to the pin, displacing the current occupant.
    • Swap — exchange pin assignments between the two conductors.
Move Mate submenu mate Reassign mate connection to a different pin on the same connector. Shown when pin has mate connections.
Disconnect All link_off Remove all conductors from this pin (shown when 2+ connections)
