1. For appearance. Some devices look sloppy when circuiting is all
connected to a single connection point. Light fixtures for example. If the
middle of the fixture is the connection point with the "trace geometry"
cleanup set, wiring can look like a spider web coming out of it from all
directions. With connection points set to the four quadrants or the mid
point of each side, the drawing looks much cleaner.
2. For design. Our surface mount fixtures are according to most standards.
They are a rectangle with a circle inside. The circle represents where the
fixtures will be wired together or a j-box. So the circuiting (for us)
should be shown to the circle. The program doesn't allow to have one
connection point in the center of the fixture and have "trace geometry"
clean the wire to the circle. It is only cleaned to the outside of the
rectangle. With connection points set to the four quadrants of the circle,
I can accomplish this.
