Insert a Flow Line (Connector)

FlowBreeze Flowchart Software Top  Previous  Next

 

FlowBreeze automatically adds flow lines when new symbols are generated. But sometimes you may need to close a loop or manually add a flow line. Luckily, there are two easy ways to do this.

 

Method 1 - Automated

 

To add a fully formatted flow line, you can just type "FL" (without the quotes) in any cell and the Flow Line Insertion Tool window will open, allowing you to set the From and To symbols and their connection sides. In order to use this method, you must be in flowcharting mode. You can also click Insert > Flow Line Insertion Tool from the FlowBreeze menu to load this window without having to be in flowcharting mode.

 

The Flow Line Insertion Tool is covered in Step 4 of the Getting Start Tutorial.

 

The advantage of this method is that FlowBreeze will apply your preset style to the flow line.

 

Method 2 - Manual

 

You can also manually add a flow line by clicking Insert > Flow Line and selecting the flow line type from the FlowBreeze toolbar. The mouse cursor will change to a thin cross hair crosshair. Position it over the first symbol to connect, then hold down the left mouse down and drag the line to the next symbol.

 

Tip: For more information on flow lines, see the Working with Flow Lines section of the help file.
