Activating the Insert mode

In the Insert mode, you can create network objects.

  • ►  In the Network editor window, click the  Insert mode icon.

Tip: Alternatively, switch to the Insert mode. To do so, press the Ins key or from the Network editor menu, choose Insert mode.

A detailed description on how to insert network objects is given with the respective network object type, for example, links (Managing links).

Note: Open the menu EditUser preferences > User interface > Network editor to select Show dialogs when inserting objects. This setting opens additional windows for editing attribute values when you insert new network objects. If the option has not been selected, the network object is inserted without further messages and you can edit the attributes in the Quick view (<network object type>) window.
