Connection, implicit
Invisible connection.
Implicit connections are created if the Create implicit connections for overlapping objects option is enabled and objects are placed within objects. In the displayed dialog, you can decide whether to hide any connections and, if so, which connections to hide for these objects. The difference between implicit connections and implicit relationships is that an implicit connection can be represented by a line in the model window. This line is displayed again, for example, if you drag an object from another object down into the free area of the model window.
Example of implicit connections:
Place a function on another function in a model of the EPC type.
In a model of the PCD type, place a function in the Function column and an organizational unit in the Organizational unit column. An implicit connection of the 'carries out' type is automatically created from the organizational unit to the function.
This needs to be differentiated from implicit relationships.
