Hi,

i'm looking the way to rename the "xxx" on the top of each connector. I've seen in the webinar that you can rename them automaticly too...

And do you have somekind of a user manual or a movie of a webinar? (i'm pretty sure that if i can get the movie of my webinar it will be for me a good startup for my newbie question!) 

Thanks a lot!

Hi Fred,

It may be that you're trying to run before you can walk and I recommend that you read up on Symbols, Text and Attributes in the Help system, but here's the techinque I use:

  1. Start with one connector.
  2. Unlock the document.
  3. Doubleclick on the text (XXX).
  4. In the Text From box, select Attribute.
  5. Select an appropriate attribute from the dropdown, e.g. Function. Click on OK.
  6. Lock the document.
  7. Create copies of the connector e.g. by using Paste Array
  8. Click on the Edit Attributes tool.
  9. In the Attribute Name dropdown select "Function"
  10. In Type select Number.
  11. In Format, choose your format e.g. 000
  12. Set the value to 1
  13. Click on OK
  14. Click on each connector in sequence.


Kind regards,
