Complete the following steps to set wiring preferences:

  1. Choose Options»Global options»General tab.
  2. In the Wiring box, enable any or all of the following options:
    • Automatically connect components when pins are touching checkbox—Makes an automatic connection if a component pin is touching a wire, another pin or a junction.
    • Autowire when wiring components checkbox—Automatically chooses a path that avoids crossing over components. Disabling this option gives you more control over the wire path, as Multisim follows the exact path of your cursor.

        While wiring, hold <Shift> to temporarily switch from the selected mode.

    • Autowire component on move, if number of connections is fewer than checkbox—This is especially useful for components with large pin counts. Select the checkbox and enter the desired number of connections in the associated listbox. When you move a component with less than this number of connections, Multisim reshapes connected wires to the most efficient path.

      When the checkbox is disabled, or a component with more than the set number of connections is moved, the wires are disconnected from the component and remain in their original location.

        During component movement, hold <Space> to temporarily switch from the selected mode.

    • Delete associated wires when deleting component checkbox—When enabled, wires attached to a component are deleted when that component is deleted.
