ADDING JUNCTION WHILE ADDING NET

We need to add a net that connects between Pin 3 on our 555 timer and our R3 and R4 resistors. This will require a junction. You can follow these steps in our example to add one:

Select the Net icon on the left-hand side of your interface.
Next, left-click on the end of Pin 3 to start your net.
Then left-click again in the middle of the R3/R4 net to finalize the connection, which will automatically create a junction.

ADDING JUNCTION TO AN EXISTING NET

Creating a junction while adding a net is easy, but what happens if you have two intersecting nets that don’t already have a junction marker? You can add one manually:

Select the Junction icon on the left-hand side of your interface.
Left-click on the intersecting point between two nets where you want to add a junction.
This will open up the Connect Net Segments Dialog, confirming that you want to connect (merge) two nets. Select the desired net name and choose OK.
