Connection points

By default, Inspiration uses straight connection links, which can connect anywhere on a symbol. If you change the default to a different link style, you will see connection points on the symbol you are connecting to. You can click any of these points to make the link between symbols.

Tip: A symbol can have 8 or 32 connection points. To show 32 connection points, choose 32 Link Connection Points on the Link menu. Or, hold down the Control key as you create the link.
