Annotations

You can annotate schematics with text labels and graphical elements, i.e. boxes, lines and arrows. Annotations are purely for documentation purposes and have no influence on the model behavior.

Text Annotations

To create a text annotation, double-click in an unoccupied area of a schematic and start typing. To finish editing, press the Escape key or click anywhere outside the annotation box. You can move a text annotation by selecting and dragging it with the mouse. To edit an existing annotation, double-click it. While you are editing an annotation, a toolbar is shown next to it allowing you to change the style, size, color and alignment of the text.

To change the appearance of a box annotation, double-click on its border. A toolbar will be shown next to the box allowing you to change the border width, corner radius, border color and fill color of the box.

To create a line annotation, press and hold the Shift key while double-clicking in an unoccupied area of the schematic and dragging the mouse.
