Crossing lines that do not intersect
I am drawing a wiring block diagram, and I have lines that cross each other, but I want to show that they do not connect. Is this possible?
Crossing lines
No , what I want is to show one of the lines crossing over the other one. I've seen it in drawings represented by one of the lines having a U shape over the other one. I thought this would be a very common tool.

- draw circle for example with radius 2 at crossing
- use the "break out segment" tool to delete the two segments you don't want (inside the circle)
- Delete half of circle, leaving something that looks like one wire jumped over the other one.
Alternately (and easier I think):
adopt the convention that crossing lines do not intersect unless there is a dot or small circle on the intersection. Then, you only need to paste a dot at each intersection, which is only 1 step.

Re: crossing lines
Yeah, I'm doing the circle, and then deleting.
Thanks
Thanks
Alternative Colors
Being that electronic/electrical have a lot of circuit lines, would not different color lines be of help?
