Click and hold the mouse button on the output tab. This causes the cursor to change to a downward pointing arrow. When the cursor is placed over the output tab, the name of the tab is displayed in the tool icon. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. While pressing the mouse button, drag the cursor to the desired input tab. While you are dragging the cursor from the output tab, a white line appears indicating that a connection is being created. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. When you enter the area encompassing a tool icon, the tabs that are compatible with the output tab you are trying to connect will change color. When the cursor is placed over an input tab, the name of the tab is displayed in the tool icon. #!N Note: You can also connect tabs by starting at the input tab. Simply press and hold the mouse button on the desired input tab; this causes the cursor to change to an upward pointing arrow. Drag the cursor to the desired output tab. When the cursor enters the area encompassing a tool icon, the output tabs that are compatible with the input tab will change color. #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 4. Place the pointer over the input tab you want and release the mouse button. If you release the mouse button in the rectangle area of the icon, the line automatically connects to the leftmost of the newly colored tabs. #!N #!N When you release the mouse button, the white temporary line is replaced with a black line, and the corresponding tabs fold in. #!N Note: Sometimes, when tools are placed too close together on the canvas, a connection that you made is not visible. In this case, the affected input tabs are still folded in, and a dark line is visible on each one, but the connecting line is not visible. To correct this, move one of the affected tools to another spot on the canvas. #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!N #!N You can connect an output tab to more than one input tab (either on different tool icons or on the same tool icon). Therefore, you can make a connection from an output tab even though the output tab is folded in. #!N #!N An input tab can receive a value from only one source, either from a connection to an output tab or from a value entered in a Configuration dialog box. Once an input tab folds in, you cannot make a new connection to the tab until the tab is released. #!N #!N Because output tabs can have multiple destinations, connections can only be moved or deleted from an input tab. #!N #!N To delete a tab connection: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Depress the mouse button on the input tab. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Drag the cursor to an empty space on the canvas (away from the active area of the tool). A white line from the output tab follows the mouse pointer. If you decide at this point #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* not #!EF to break the connection, you must place the cursor back on the input tab where the connection was, and release the mouse button. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. Release the mouse button. The connection is deleted and the input tab released. #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!N #!N To move a tab connection: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1.
