Arc- and chamfer-style wires are drawn by clicking a start point for the wire,
a middle point, and an end point. To draw wire between two components,
start your wire at one component, click somewhere between the two items,
andclickthesecondcomponenttoendthewire.Spline-stylewiresallowyou
to click several times between elements.

from which you draw is assigned to a circuit, the wire shows an arrowhead
indicating a home run. If the component is not assigned to a circuit, the
wire appears without an arrowhead until the element has been assigned to a
circuit.
Drawing a wire between components does not mean that they are on the
same circuit. If you draw a wire from a component that is on a circuit to
another component that is not on a circuit, the second component is not
added to the circuit. You can draw wire between components that are not
on the same circuit, creating a multicircuit run of wiring. A home run wire
is displayed between components that are on different circuits, as shown in
