Repair chain

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This feature performs an automatic correction of all errors in a complete sub-node (a wire-chain). Since this is automatic, you have no guarantee that the result becomes exactly the way you want, but at least it is always correct. This is a good starting point for further adjustments, so that the result becomes exactly as you want it. It is easier to modify a correct wire-chain than one with errors in it.

You start this feature by right-clicking anywhere in a sub-node that contains errors. In the context menu, you select the Repair chain command, as shown in the figure above.

 

cadett ELSA will correct the chain in its own way. This means that ingoing will match outgoing everywhere. The existing wire-numbers will be used to the greatest extent possible. The result of this will be a corrected chain.

Please note the green tick to the left, where the angry error icon previously was shown!

 

After you have corrected the wire-chain in this manner, you can transfer the corrections to the circuit diagrams. In the same way as you insert all other changes, you do that with the Insert button.

 

Of course, you can continue working with the wire-chain in question, and further adjust both wire-numbers and wiring sequence. That is done in the way that has already been described. However, in most cases, a step-by-step approach is the one that is most likely to be successful.

 

The recommended tactic, is to make the correction in three separate steps:

 

1.Perform an automatic repair. Then save the result using Insert.

 

2.Correct the wiring sequence according to your own preferences. Then save the result using Insert.

 

3.Correct the wire-numbers according to your own preferences. Then save the result using Insert.

 

The example shown above is extremely simple. In most cases, the reality is much more complex. That does not mean, however, that the recommended way to handle it changes.
