Branches
Branches create alternative routing for connections. Add parallel branches to elements on a rung. Parallel branch structures display with connections upon clicking a rung.
To perform operations like cutting, copying, pasting, and deleting branches, select a single branch or all branches from a parallel structure. When selecting a single branch, click the connection on the left or right extremity of the branch. The branch connection is highlighted and the branch is outlined. When selecting all branches, click any of the vertical lines joining the branch connections on the left or right extremity of the branches. The branch arm is highlighted and all branches in the structure are outlined.
