Elements – Edge

December 8th, 2009Elements

edgeEdges: An Edge, sometimes called an “arrow” or a “link,” is what connects each step in the process. Unlike the other Elements in this list, Edges do not appear in stencils. Instead there are two ways to create them:

  • Click the “Link Mode” button on the toolbar and then click your source Element and drag it to your destination Element. The destination element should highlight in yellow when your mouse is correctly positioned over it for a drop.
  • A faster and simpler way to create an Edge is to hold down the control key (Ctrl) on your keyboard, then click-drag-drop it from the source to the destination Element.

To reroute an Edge, simply click somewhere on the Edge and drag to create a new “elbow.” You can put a label on the edge by double clicking the edge or by giving it a “Name” in the Properties Editor.
