Creating a Connection to a Nested Connector

You can create a connection to a nested connector.

Before you begin:
  • Open a behavior representation containing a nested connector and another component to which it can be connected.
  • Since you use direct connection in the scenario, note that:

  1. Drag from the nested connector.

    Tip: To display the connectors´name in the diagram layer, from the Diagram section of the action bar, click Show Connector Names .

    A connection line appears and follows the cursor.
    Tip: For possible actions when drawing the connection line, see Step 2 in Use Direct Connection.
  2. Select the component with which you want to create a connection.

    Tip: if you click anywhere on a component, the closest compatible connector for connection is selected.

    The Connection dialog box is displayed.

    The dialog box has one window for each connector. The window containing the nested connector lists the connector and all its subconnectors.

    The connect statement at the bottom of the dialog box shows which connectors are selected for the connection.

  3. To create a connection from a node in the nested connector tree, select the node in the window.

    The node you select and the connector at the other end of the connection are displayed in the connect statement.

    In this example a connection has been made between the subconnector pin of nested connector cable and connector p of resistor.



  4. When finished, click OK.
    • The connection is created.
    • The Connection dialog box closes.
