To Create a Butt Splice
1. Click Insert > Splice > Butt. The SELECT dialog box opens.
2. Select the wire to which you want to splice a segment and click OK in the SELECT dialog box. The splice is created at the point you select on the wire. The GET SYMBOL menu appears.
3. Use the GET SYMBOL menu to select the single node symbol to place at the splice. Use one of the following options:
◦ Name—Select from a list of in-session diagram symbols by name.
◦ Pick Inst—Select a symbol currently on the diagram.
◦ Retrieve—Browse to a directory containing the symbol.
4. When you select the symbol it is placed at the splice point. The wire is split and the second half of the wire is given a new name. The component created is a regular diagram component.
You can now route additional wires to the butt splice.
