Dots on Schematics

CircuitLab schematics now include connection dots to show when wires intersect. This behavior makes it more clear where components are connected or not, especially in busy schematics, and it's been a highly requested feature on our forums. These dots appear when 3 or more lines (wires or component terminals) intersect at a single point:

In the 15 weeks since we first launched CircuitLab, our users have saved more than 16,000+ circuits in our system. Stay tuned for a blog post about how we used 64 CPUs to re-render them all with our new rendering engine (including connection dots, plus publication-quality schematics).

Greatly appreciate the recent improvements regarding sharing, printing, and the connection dots. You guys really listen to user input!

I am really loving CircuitLab! Huge kudo's to everyone involved! I am just a hobbyist and learning this stuff and the forum/blog has been a big help! Are there any in-browser plans for a layout/pcb solution to go with CircuitLab? That would be awesome!

I have the same question. How do I insert a "bridge" where wires cross but do not connect?
