Livewire Guide

Livewire is a modern electrical design tool for engineers who build cables and harnesses — schematics, harnesses, and manufacturing-ready drawings, backed by a searchable component library and automated design rule checks.

This guide is the long-form reference: concepts, full feature coverage, and troubleshooting. For a short, hands-on walkthrough, use the Get Started panel inside the editor itself.

Where to start​

• Getting Started — set up your first project and learn the editor basics.
• Schematic — draw and validate electrical circuit diagrams: components, wires, signals, routes.
• Harness — design the physical wiring bundle: nodes, links, and bundles.
• Component Library — search and manage connectors, wires, and terminals.
• Design Rule Checks — configure and interpret automated validation of your designs.
• Reference — general product reference material.
