Delete a Connector

1

Open the diagram containing the connector of interest.

Either:

• Double-click on the diagram name in the Browser window, or
• Make an already open diagram the 'active' diagram, by clicking on its tab in the Diagram View

2

Click on the connector in the diagram to select it.

The selected connector is highlighted in the diagram.

3

Either:

• Press the Ctrl+Delete keys
• Right-click on the connector and select the 'Delete Connector' option, or
• Press the Delete key

If you press Ctrl+Delete, a dialog displays prompting you to confirm that you want to delete the connector (and the relationship it describes) from the model. Click on the Yes button to remove the connector.

The Delete key and 'Delete Connector' option display the 'Remove Connector' dialog.

4

On the 'Remove Connector' dialog, choose one of the options:

• Hide the connector or
• Delete the connector from the model

'Hide the connector' obscures the connector on the current diagram; you cannot see it but the relationship between the two elements still exists and is shown on other diagrams containing the two elements together, and on all reports of connectors between the elements.

'Delete the Connector from Model' removes the relationship that exists between the two elements; the connector is removed from the current diagram, from all other diagrams on which it is shown, and from all reports on connectors between the two elements.

5

Optionally, tick the checkbox 'Don't ask again'.

Selecting this option prevents the 'Remove Connector' dialog from being displayed next time you select the 'Delete Connector' command; the command uses the setting you last used on the dialog.

Make sure that you have selected the right option to use as your default.

6

Click on the OK button.

The connector disappears from the diagram.

If you selected the 'Delete the connector from the model' option, the relationship represented by the connector is also deleted from your model.
