Assign abbreviations for connection types in matrix model

You can easily differentiate several connection types in a matrix model by assigning abbreviations.

Procedure (video 15 sec.)

  1. Open a matrix model.
  2. If required, click Contents Contents.

    Activate the Connection types tab in the Contents bar. You will see all connection types that are allowed between the symbols in the matrix model.

  3. Click the Connection types area in the Abbreviation column and enter a letter, a number, or a special character as a code.

This connection type will no longer be represented by a check mark in the matrix model, but by the character. If multiple connections are defined between objects, this is indicated by an asterisk in the cell in the matrix model. In a matrix model, connections are created at definition level only.

Tip

You can quickly model connections in the matrix model by entering the corresponding abbreviation directly in the relevant cell.
