Connector Handles and Indicators

You can customize the following diagram-level connector properties. These settings apply to all connectors of all types within the diagram and cannot be overridden at the connector level.

• If you select Show Connectors Over Blocks, any connectors that cross blocks will be shown over (i.e., in front of) those blocks. Otherwise, the blocks will be displayed on top.
• Where connectors attach to blocks if the blocks are not in direct horizontal or vertical alignment. If the Automatic Connection Preference field is set to Left-Right, the connector will attach to the sides of the blocks; if it is set to Top-Bottom, the connector will attach to the top and bottom of the blocks. If No Preference is chosen, the connector will attach to the closest edges.
• The colors used for:
  • All connector handles and selected connectors.
  • Connectors to/from highlighted blocks (i.e., blocks that are part of a multiple selection).
  • Connectors leading to or from a selected block. This can be helpful in visualizing how a block is connected within a complex diagram.
• The size of the arrow head, in inches.
• The thickness of connectors in a traced path.
