Add More Than 10 Connection Points per Component

ARES Electrical removes the previous 10-point limit on connection points defined in a component's schematic representation. You can now add as many connection points as your component needs.

This is especially useful for PLC modules and other multi-terminal devices, where every pin benefits from fast wire drawing — the ability to draw wires directly from a connection point — just like a simple two-terminal contactor coil.

How It Works

  • Open the component in the Block Editor.

  • Go to the Connection Points panel and use Add Connection Point to define as many points as needed — there's no longer a 10-point cap.

  • Every connection point you add gains fast wire drawing automatically, the same as before.

  • Use Remove Connection Point to delete any point you no longer need.

This update also improves consistency with the electrical block editing experience overall: the Block Editor for electrical entities (wires, components, controls, and page blocks) now matches the same interface used for standard ARES blocks, including a contextual ribbon.
