Usage

1. Use the ribbon icon, command palette, or right-click on a target folder in the file explorer and select Create new Circuit Sketcher file to create a new circuit sketcher file.
2. Start drawing your circuit on the canvas:
   • On the canvas, right-click to show the canvas menu, and select Create Node.
   • Right-click on the node to show the node menu, select Change Image, and choose an image relevant to your circuit node.
   • Right-click on the node to show the node menu, select Add Port..., and choose the port location and type.
   • You can rename the circuit node label or port label by double-clicking on the label. The port or port label can also be deleted (right-click on the port to show the port menu and proceed from there).
   • You can relocate ports, either to a different node side or rearrange the ports on the same side, by dragging and dropping the port to the desired location within the dotted blue area.
   • After you are satisfied with your changes to the circuit node, and if you wish to save the circuit node to reuse it in the current or a different .circuit-sketcher file, you can right-click on the circuit node and press Save Node to Library (this will update the root Obsidian vault circuit-sketcher.lib file).
   • You can reuse the node by right-clicking on the canvas and selecting Library... then selecting the desired node.
   • Connections between circuit nodes can be made by dragging and dropping one port to the destination port (if it is a compatible port). You can delete a connection by selecting it and then pressing the Delete key.
   • You can drag the entire circuit by holding the mouse scroll button and moving the mouse.
