The circuit editor has a WYSIWYG interface allowing track section manipulation. Each circuit is edited in a MDI child window.

Track sections are added by clicking twice, or by dragging and dropping the selected track section from track section toolbar into the track layout editor window.

When a track section is dropped on the editor window, it is automatically attached to the closest track section if any.
