Net Split

The Net Split feature in JITX allows you to visually divide a net by splitting it on a wire. Note that this operation does not change the underlying net list.

Steps to Split a Net

  1. Select a Wire: Click on the wire where you want to split the net.
  2. Split: Press z or delete.

Behavior

The behavior of the Net Split operation depends on the current attributes of the net:

  • No Net Label Present: When the net has no label, splitting the wire adds two new net labels.
Figure 1: Splitting a wire on a net with no label adds two new net labels.
  • One Net Label Present: When the net already has one label, splitting the wire adds one new net label.
Figure 2: Splitting a wire on a net with an existing label adds one new net label.
  • Only Connected to a Net Label: If one side of the wire connects only to a net label, the wire cannot be split, as this would create a subcircuit consisting of two identical labels connected to each other.
Figure 3: Splitting fails if one side of the wire only connects to a net label.
