Power net portal is a special schematic object used to define a power or ground net. Power ports allow you to conveniently indicate a power net at any location in the design. Power nets of the same designator automatically connect throughout your design #portal #power
A generic fixed inductor for rapid developing circuit topology. *You can now change the footprint and 3D model at the top level anytime you want. This is the power of #generics
As of my last update in September 2023, Flux does not offer a direct feature to draw graphical lines for organization in a schematic. However, there are techniques to use alternative methods to achieve the same goal:
Proper Alignment: Initially align your components magnetically. This will automatically give you a better-organized and neater schematic as you progress with your design[1].
Use of Netlines: In some cases, you may use nets or 'wireless' connections for visual cues. These aren't intended to represent electrical connections, but rather to group related components together. Please note that this is a less conventional approach.
Custom Symbols: You could create custom symbols with the required graphical elements and import them into your Flux project. However, they'd technically be circuit components, and they'd have to have at least one pin, which could interfere with symbol-naming and BOM generation, so this is also more of a workaround than a formal method[2].
Text Annotations: Adding text annotations around your grouped components could also be useful for organization and clarification.
Please remember to always check for the latest features in Flux as it is a rapidly evolving platform and new features are regularly being added.
To edit the schematic symbol for a component in Flux, you'll need to follow a series of steps:
First, remember to publish the part to the library if you haven't done so already.
Then, create a new project and place the published part in it. The symbol view of the part will be visible at this point[1].
Once you've placed the part into a project, you can modify its symbol. However, remember Flux does not provide a standalone symbol or footprint editor. Parts are edited through the schematic diagram and PCB layout[2].
If you're trying to import a custom symbol, Flux supports importing of SVGs. You can create your custom symbol as an SVG file and then import it to represent your part in the schematic[3].
Always remember: schematic symbols are usually abstract representations of the physical and functional properties of components. They are designed to be easy to recognize and understand[4].
