Note that in normal Protel operation, it is impossible to omit a tie dot in a T connection, since the editor automatically adds a tie dot if you create a T. In order to make a crossed connection, one must deliberately wire a second wire to the original tie dot, or add a tie dot to crossed wires. The latter is somewhat unreliable. Try this: cross two wires, place a tie dot on the apparent junction, then move one of the wires. The tie dot will not move with the wire (if there are no wire ends at the crossing point), but will be left floating (it will still be on one wire, but it will not be making any connection).
