Element: Connection Mark – Source/Sink

Symbol: cfc_icon_element_connection_mark_source.png, cfc_icon_element_connection_mark_sink.png

Two connection marks with the same name represent a connection between the marked elements. This is helpful to make complex diagrams clearer.

For a valid connection, you need to connect a Connection Mark - Source element to the output of one element and a Connection Mark - Sink element to the input of another element. Both marks have to have the same name. In this case, uppercase and lowercase are not taken into consideration.

. Notes about naming

  • The default name for connection marks is C-<number>. Here, <number> is a consecutive number starting at 1.

  • You can rename the default name. You need to make sure that the source mark and the sink mark have the same name.

  • If you change the name of the source mark, then the sink name will be renamed automatically.

  • If you change the name of the sink mark, then the source name is retained.

Tip

You can use Connection Mark to convert the connection marks into a connecting line.
