Link creation

A link can be created between two objects. Also a link has its direction from the initial object to the destination object.

Link creation mode

Before creating a link it is necessary to turn on the link creation mode by one of the following ways:

  • click the button image in the Main toolbar;

  • press the key combination Tab+L.

The same ways can be used to turn the mode off.

When the mode is activated:

  • the current view of the Main screen changes to the Standard view;

  • the Link creation icon image appears at the right side of each object;

  • the string with the Exit button appears under the panel Breadcrumbs. This string illustrates that Link creation mode has been turned on:
