Creating & Using Nodes

To draw a jointed Link (a Link with one or more bends), point to the source node, move the pointer to where you want the first joint to be, click the mouse again, and draw the next leg of the Link. Click inside a frame or node to complete the Link.

Adjusting Links

To adjust an existing Link, move the arrow pointer to the Link's arrowhead or joint, and hold down the left mouse button. Drag the joint or arrowhead to a new position, and then release the mouse button.

If two or more Links overlap, you can select them separately by moving the arrow pointer to a joint or arrowhead and holding down the left mouse but- ton. The selected Link appears dashed. To select the next Link in the stack, press and hold down the left button again.

Moving Links

To move a node while retaining the position of its anchored, jointed links, press and hold the Shift and Ctrl keys while grasping the node with the mouse and moving it to the new location.

Deleting Links

To delete an existing Link, select the Link by moving the cursor to the Link’s arrow-head and holding down the left mouse button. Press the Delete button or the ESC button.
