Annotations

Annotations are non-electrical additions that make a schematic into a finished figure. They are ignored by the netlister but appear in the SVG/PDF export.

Free text

Draw ‣ Text… (shortcut T) adds a line of text. Use it for notes, titles or callouts.

LaTeX fragments

Draw ‣ LaTeX… adds a block of typeset LaTeX — equations, aligned derivations, anything a standalone LaTeX document can produce. (Requires pdflatex and dvisvgm.)

A LaTeX fragment — Fig. 37 A typeset equation placed next to the circuit it describes.

Hyperlinks

Draw ‣ Hyperlink… adds clickable link text (for example to a course or datasheet). In the editor, right-click the link to open or edit it.

Images

Place ‣ Image… embeds a raster or vector image — a logo, a photo of a measurement, a plot.

Drawing primitives

The Draw menu also provides simple shapes — Line, Rectangle and Circle — for framing, grouping or highlighting parts of the diagram.

Borders and document properties

Place ‣ Border (B) adds a drawing border/frame.
File ‣ Document Properties… sets the title, author and page size, which are used when exporting and printing.

Renaming components

Tools ‣ Rename Components… renumbers reference designators in bulk — handy after a lot of editing.
