To add and anchor
a connector to shapes:
- In Classic view, in the iFIX WorkSpace, on the CAD Toolbar, click the line connector button you want to use to connect your shapes.
-Or-
In Ribbon view, on the Insert tab, in the Connectors group, click Connectors, and then click the desired line connector.
You can choose from the Line Connector Tool, the Right Angle Line Connector, or the Pipe Connector.
- Draw a connector between two shapes.
- Select the connector. The ends of the connector change to green squares.
- Drag the end of the connector to the connection point. The connector end changes to a red square when it is anchored to the connection point. If it is not anchored to the connection point, it stays green.
NOTE: When you are anchoring a connector object, it is automatically sent to the back of the object you are anchoring it to. The connector handles, however, are still visible and can be selected and moved. When the anchoring process is completed, you can right-click the connector object and choose Bring to Front.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to anchor the connector to the second shape. The shapes can be moved around the picture but remain connected. The connector stretches and reshapes as the shapes are moved.
