3.4.5.3 Creating a connection via connection dialog
You can also create connections by means of a selection dialog instead of dragging by mouse. This
especially makes sense if there is a great distance between the ports to be connected in the drawing
area.

How to create a connection using the selection dialog:
1. Right-click the port identifier or click the port symbol from which the connection is to start.
• The context menu for the port is displayed.
2. Go to the context menu for the port and select the Add connection... command.
• The Add connection dialog box is displayed:
• In a tree structure all inputs and outputs of the application are shown to which a connec-
tion is permissible.
• You can enter an optional text into the Filter input field to reduce the selection to the
blocks or ports which contain the entered text.
• If you activate the Show hidden ports control field, the hidden ports for system and func-
tion blocks are shown as well.
3. Select the port where the connection is to end from the tree structure.
4. Activate the Add connection as flag control field if a port identifier (flag) is to be inserted
instead of a connection line.
5. Press OK to create the connection to the selected port and close the dialog box.
