Assigning lanes between links

In the attributes and options of a connector, you can assign the lanes from the link at which the connector begins to the lanes of the link at which the connector ends.

The Connector window opens automatically when you insert a network object and have selected to have the Edit dialog opened automatically after object creation (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object). By default, only the Connectors list is opened.

Into the window, you enter attribute values for the network object. For network objects which have already been defined, you can call the window using the following functions:

• ►  In the list of network objects of the network object type, double-click the row with the desired network object.
• ►  In the Network editor, select the network object of your choice. Then, on its shortcut menu, click Edit.

The network object may have additional attributes. In the network objects list of the network object type, you can show all attributes and attribute values. You can open the list via the following functions:

• ►  On the network object sidebar, right-click the desired network object type. Then on the shortcut menu, click Show List (Shortcut menu in the network object sidebar).
• ►  In the Network editor, select the network object of your choice. Then on its shortcut menu, click Show In List (Selecting network objects in the Network editor and showing them in a list)
• ►  On the Lists menu, in the desired category, click the network object type.

In the network objects list of the network object type, you can edit attributes and attribute values of a network object (Selecting cells in lists), (Using lists).

The objects of this object type may have relations to other objects. This is why the attributes list is shown as part of a coupled list (on the left). On the Lists toolbar, in the Relations box, you can show and edit the coupled list with the attributes of the desired relation on the right (Using coupled lists).

1.  In the from link field, click on the desired lanes of the link in which the connector begins.

2.  If you wish to select further lanes, hold down the Shift key and click on the other desired lanes.

3.  In the to link field, click on the desired lanes of the link in which the connector ends.

The selected lanes in the from link and the to link field are highlighted.

4.  Confirm with OK.
