        Why? It helps during component placement. Placement of some components is very important.

TIP #081: Place components in the schematic close to the pins where they should be located on PCB

        Why? For example wrong connect style can make soldering very hard or it can limit maximum current.

TIP: #083 Be aware of different connect styles used to connect through hole pins or VIAs
