About this task
To remove a connection that you
have created between two nodes:
Procedure
- Open the message flow that you want to work with.
- Click Selection above the node palette.
- Select the connection that you want to
delete.
When you hold the mouse pointer over the connection,
the editor highlights the connection that you have selected by thickening
its line, adding an arrowhead at the target terminal end, and annotating
the connection with the name of the two terminals connected, for example
Out->In.
When you select the connection, the editor appends a small
black square at each end and at every bend point of the connection,
and a small arrowhead at the target terminal end. The annotation disappears
when you select the connection.
- Check that the selected connection is the one that you
want to delete.
- Right-click the connection and click Delete,
press the Delete key, or click .
If you want
to delete further connections, repeat these actions from step
3.
- If you delete a connection in error, you can restore it
by right-clicking in the editor view and clicking Undo
Delete.
The connection is restored.
- If you undo the delete, but decide that it is the correct
delete action, you can right-click in the editor view and click Redo
Delete.
You can also delete a connection by
selecting it in the Outline view and pressing the Delete key.
Results
If you delete a node, its connections
are automatically removed; you do not have to do this as a separate
task.
