Connecting to a connector
Is it possible to glue a connector to a point (other than an endpoint)
on another connector? I know it is, because somehow I did it. I just can't figure out how I did it -- and I need to do it again! The diagram is simple. What follows is a verbal description. If you can follow it, you’re a far better man than I. So if you like, I've posted the file itself for download at: http://www.speakeasy.org/~mtangard/temp.htm It’s technically a flowchart but with arrowless connectors (because it’s actually a too-simple org chart). One long vertical connector links 2 big boxes at the top & bottom of the page. Two other smaller boxes lie to the right and left of that connector, and must be connected to it, at different points. On the left side, I made a connection point ON the vertical connector and dragged a connector to it from the left box. The connection point glowed nice & red (meaning, glued), and if I drag the box, it stays glued. That was yesterday. When I do the same thing today for the right-hand box, it also claims to be glued (glows red), but if I drag the box, its connector lets go of the vertical one without protest, as if it ISN'T glued. What have I omitted to do? And what is the approved method for attaching a connector to the middle of another? TIA -- Mark Tangard "Life is nothing if you're not obsessed." --John Waters |
