Hi.

Is there a way to un-place circuit wires without deleting the object they're connected to?

What about removing them from electric poles without deleting the pole (dunno if this is the same as the first question)?

Also, is there a quick way to stop placing a wire without clearing the cursor and picking up the wire again? Like if I want to quickly make a few disconnected networks of red wire right next to each other, or if I want to quickly make connections in a hub style instead of a chain (like a bunch of stuff connected to the same electric pole), do I have to clear the cursor between each one or is there some keyboard key for "terminating" the existing wire placement chain without dropping the wire?

Thanks!

Oh yeah one more question: When you mouse over an electric pole with a circuit wire attached you see the values of all the signals on the wire. Is there a way to see those values on a network with no electric poles in it?

to remove wire, pick up which ever colour wire you want to remove, click on the first entity as if you are going to make a new connection, and then click on the connected entity you want to disconnect. unfortunately you don't get the wire back. with poles, you can either do the same thing or ctrl+click shift+click on the pole to remove all wire connections (including copper cable).
as for your other questions... no, not that I know of

Thanks!
