Placing objects
place_no_connect
Mark a pin as intentionally unconnected.
Usage
place_no_connect <X> <Y>Angle brackets mark required arguments and square brackets optional ones. Available in the schematic editor. You can issue this yourself, and the AI agent issues the identical command — there is no second, hidden interface.
Arguments
XY2 required, 0 optional.
Behaviour
States that leaving this pin unwired is deliberate, which is what stops ERC reporting it. Place it ON the pin: one that lands anywhere else suppresses nothing and ERC says so. It asserts nothing about connectivity — it suppresses a complaint about the absence of it, and putting one on a pin that IS wired is an ERC error, not a way to hide the wire. Millimetres.
How the agent uses it
- The agent works in a perceive / act / verify / recover loop: it describes the design, issues
place_no_connector another command, checks the result, and undoes the change if the check fails. - Commands report what they actually did. A refusal is a result, not a silent no-op — which is what lets the agent recover instead of building on a change that never happened.
- Anything the agent can do here, you can do yourself, and the reverse.
