Change the Source or Target Element
After you have created a connector between two elements, you might later want to change either the source or target. Instead of deleting and re-creating the connector, Enterprise Architect enables you to change the source or target. There are two ways of doing this: using the 'Set Source and Target' dialog or using the mouse.

Notes
- The connector does not actually move until you release the mouse button over the new source or target element; however:
- A dotted line shows where the connector would be during the move
- The solid outline of the nearest element or extension changes to a hatched outline as you move the cursor onto it; this helps you identify where the connector should connect to, if there are many closely-arranged elements, Parts, Ports and other extensions
