Electrical Wiring Manager supports three drawing styles for cable:
-
Single straight lines (users can manually add 'bend points' as required).
-
Orthogonal Lines (cables are always drawn with vertical and/or horizontal segments).
-
Bezier - curved lines (cable lines are drawn single curved segments).
The following figure shows examples of these cable styles:

The two bottom cables are 'Orthogonal' (type 2), left most is 'Straight' (type 1), top and right are 'Bezier' - curved (type 3).
Any cable can have its style changed at any time. Right-click on them, and from the menu then displayed, select Make Orthogonal or Make Straight as required.
The default style is set on the Visualisation tab of the Options window.
