Although it comes packed with many dedicated parameters, it sports a clean and straightforward layout. The built-in schematic editor gives users the possibility to configure the current page settings, perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete), undo or redo their actions, zoom in or out, and draw wires and buses in any direction.

What's more, you can insert local or global labels, add junctions, check the validity of the circuit by performing tests which reveal details about the total errors and warning messages, pick the measurement unit, print the circuit boards, as well as select from various components from the library.
