Draw connections using keyboard

You can draw connections between objects with the keyboard if you have defined abbreviations for these connections.

Procedure

  1. Open a matrix model.

  2. Click in a cell in your matrix model.

  3. In the cells where you want to create connections, enter the abbreviation for the required connection.

If there are several possible connections with the same abbreviation, the Create connections dialog opens. Enable the relevant connections and click OK.The connections that correspond to the abbreviation are created in your matrix model. In a matrix model, connections are created at definition level only.

Tip

If abbreviations are specified for the connections, you can move in the matrix model using the arrow keys and create connections using only the keyboard.
