I understand that the rats-nest lines disappear when the components are connected via wires, but why would the algorithm show a rats-nest across the three pins of the transistor above ?
Do I have to connect the components to their respective +12V, GND, -12V rails as I add them so that these "false/confused" rats-nest lines disappear?
I observed that when I click a breadboard "hole" that is highlighted in green, it does seem to be "aware" of the power lines since the entire power line lights up in yellow "dots". The issue is however, that almost any component seems to want to connect to a power rail, only a very few components want to connect to a pin isolated from +12V, GND or -12V, this was the original issue I had, it seemed like the only way to get rid of the rats nest line was to connect the components to one of the V rails, so I ended up with a lot of jumper cables on my breadboard, some even for connecting adjacent pins on a transistor.
I noticed one thing though: for one or two components, when I click the green hole connected to a component, BOTH the GRND and -12V light up: does this mean I can connect that hole with a wire to either GND or -12V?
