Step 5 - Connecting Links

Another thing you can do is to connect links. This might be useful if, for example, you want to represent the structure of a process where each link links a certain step and arrows between the links represent the order of these steps. To create such a link between two links do the following.

Note: So far, connected links are only used in background image generation. However, in the future these connection might get used in the website generation process as well.

  1. Make sure you created the two links you want to connect.
  2. From the palette, choose Connect links under Linking Tools.

  3. Move your mouse over the first link, click and hold, move your mouse over the second link and release the mouse button.
    You should now see a line connecting the two links.
  4. You can specify a title and a type for the link.
  5. Similar to links you can change color and font for a connection by using the Appearance tab in the properties view. There you can also change the type of line you want and how thick it should be.
  6. Moreover, you can choose if title and/or type should be displayed in the diagram by going to the Advanced tab.
