Flow Line Prompt Window

 

When you're working with FlowBreeze in interactive flowcharting mode, the flow lines are added from the last shape to the new shape automatically. However, there are some cases where FlowBreeze will not automatically add a flow line:

 

1.The new shape is not in the same row or column as the last shape.
2.There is a 3rd shape in between the last shape and the new shape.
3.You delete the last shape created.
4.Flowcharting was stopped and then re-started.

 

Whenever any of these cases occur, FlowBreeze will prompt you to add a flow line, as shown in the image below. The list contains the all the flowcharting shapes contained on the worksheet, along with an icon showing the symbol type, the worksheet location of the symbol, and the text (if any) that it contains.. The items are sorted by the distance from each symbol to the newly added symbol.

 

 

How to Use

 

1. Select a shape from the list. The "Quick search" field lets you select a symbol by typing in its text. The first matching symbol will be selected as you type.

2. If needed, click on the outgoing connection side from the last shape.

3. If needed, click on the incoming connection side to the new shape.

4. Optionally, change the begin point, end point, and line style.

5. Click Add Connector to add the flow line, or click Cancel if you decide not to add a flow line.
