A line is a graphic object defined by two points: a start point and an end point. Although you can create a series of contiguous line segments, each segment acts as a separate object. However, there is an advantage in creating contiguous line segments rather than a single polyline: each line segment can be edited independently of the other segments in the series.
 Warning: |
|---|
A line is a purely graphic object. To make an electrical connection between the nodes of the schematic, use the object Wire. To make an electrical connection between the PCB pads, use the object Track. |
