The New Default Wire Symbol introduces a new icon  in the Wire Palette to clearly identify which wire is currently set as the default. With this feature, the default wire can be inserted directly into the graphics area from components without requiring prior selection.

Previously, users had to select a wire and look for the ✔️ symbol to confirm it was the default — a method that was not very visible or efficient. The new icon provides a more intuitive and accessible indication.

Benefits

  • Quick visual recognition of the default wire.

  • Faster insertion workflow, users can immediately use the preconfigured wire without check in the wire palette what is the default one.

  • Reduced confusion and fewer clicks when starting a new design.

  • More intuitive experience, similar to marking a “favorite” item.
