Drawing diagonal wires - how? [SOLVED]

Schematic
1

Hi all,

I’ve spent over 20 minutes trying to figure out how to draw a diagonal wire in kicad. I could just let it go, but the perfectionist in me is not satisfied! I’ve found that I can make an existing wire become diagonal by dragging it, but it’s not possible to manipulate that functionality in such a way as to do what I need.

Generally I don’t like diagonal wires on schematics, but an example of where it is commonly used to good effect is a flip-flop circuit. This is in fact what I am trying to draw.

Any ideas?

Go to the “Schematic Editor Options” and then disable the checkbox “Restrict busses and wires to H and V orientation”. This should do the trick.

That does indeed do the trick Airic! Thanks very much!

I think I will leave the setting on in general, but I’ll turn it off as and when I need it.

Cheers!
