How are connection types offered?

If several connection types are allowed between two objects, these are offered in a pop-up window. By default, one connection type is activated.

By clicking in the relevant position in the modeling area, the object is placed and the default connection type is used:

Multiple connections offered

By clicking the option button of another connection type, the other connection type is created between the objects.

Another connection selected

If

the already existing connection will be represented in the pop-up window by means of an enabled check box. At the same time, the pop-up window indicates the direction of the connection graphically.

Connection already exists

The already existing connection type can no longer be selected if this connection type may only be created once between the objects. It is then shown as inactive.

If you already selected a connection once, it is still offered when you create connections between the same object types. Thus, if you select the connection type reads for the connection between the object types Function and File, this connection type will be offered for the above object types every time the pop-up window opens until you select another type of connection.
