Define default connection type

You can define a default connection type. To create a default connection type between two objects, double-click a cell between the objects.

Procedure

  1. Open a matrix model.
  2. If required, click Contents Contents.
  3. Activate the Connection types tab in the Contents bar.

    The From symbol column represents the source symbol type, the Connection type column the relevant connection type, and the To symbol column the corresponding target symbol type, as connections are differentiated by direction.

  4. In the Default column, enable the check box in the row for the connection type that you want to define as the default type.
  5. Repeat this for each symbol type pair for which you want to specify a default connection type. The Contents bar on the Connection types tab shows symbol type pairs visually separated from one another by a line.

You have defined a default connection type.

This connection type can now be created between objects by double-clicking a cell in the matrix model. If you disable the check box in the Display column for this connection type, check boxes in the Default column are also disabled.
