Topic: Wire colours after a splice

Firstly, I am a noob, please be gentle. Yes, my questions will be dumb. No, I don't know what I am talking about.
Second, thank you for such a great program, I am not sure I could complete this project without it.
Third, yes I will be donating come payday.

Question?

My project is to draw a wiring diagram for my mobility scooter to better understand it's wiring with two goals. i) to be able to use a non standard controller - the factory supplied ones have a know issue with reliability and ii) to be able to modify the circuit to add accessories such as USB chargers and additional "funky" lighting.

My problem is that when I insert a splice - there are multiple splices on the negative wire in the loom the wire "after" the splice adopts the same colour as the one it is spliced from. This is not the case on the loom - the main negative wire is black but the wires spliced from it are green. If I try and colour those wires green it also colours the main wire green which I don't want.

Am I doing something wrong, is there a way around this?

Re: Wire colours after a splice

Hello wilko67,

create a splice element that is NOT defined as a terminal, then you can use any conductor or colour.
To do this, drag the existing element from the QET collection into the user collection and double-click on it. The element editor opens and you set the desired properties for the element there.

You and the users of the circuit diagram should be aware that this has nothing to do with rule-compliant electrical engineering. nomicons/wink

Re: Wire colours after a splice

Thanks - I'll give that a try now. This is a Chinese mobility scooter, rule-compliant electrical engineering seems to have been replaced by "what colour wire do we have left".

I appreciate your help.
