Linking basic objects

Object links define the direction of data flow.

  1. Move the mouse over the In or Out node of a wire sheet object (glyph) until the area is highlighted and the mouse pointer changes to a white arrow.
  2. Do one of the following:


    • To complete a link, click and drag from the point of origin to the desired In or Out slot of the target object and release the mouse button.
    • Drag a wire from the selected object to a vacant slot on another wire sheet object.
    The Link window opens.

  3. To create the link using the Link window, select the desired slots and click OK.

To identify the objects (slots), their names display at the top of their respective columns. The object in the left column is the source object; the object in the right column is the target object.

You cannot select invalid (dimmed) slots when dragging from an In to an Out slot or when using this window.

Red rectangles surrounding each selection indicate the link.

A summary of the currently selected slots displays above the OK and Cancel buttons.
