Adding Connectors and Quick Shortcuts

Initially, the connector "DT04-3P" is added to the project sheet. The pins are copied with the command "CTRL + C" and "CTRL + V". For mirroring on the vertical axis, you can use the "Y" key.

Adding Coil

Then the coil named "34410" is added in order to collide if the connection of the first pin was made as a straight line. In this connection, the command "C" was used.

Curved Segment Functionality

So that the connections can be made in a curve, it is necessary to click with the right mouse button on the desired segment and use the option "Change Connect Line to Spline".
