Note

If the toolbar is not displayed, it can be displayed from Settings > Display > Tools.

Warning

At the case that the initial and end terminal are different potentials, QElectroTech considers two terminals from the same element as different potentials, QElectroTech will inform by a warning PopUP window. Nevertheless, QElectroTech will create the conductor
