Notes:

  • The constraint note is drawn slightly differently to a regular note, and has { and } automatically added to visually indicate the constraint form
  • As an alternative to the procedure above, you can drag the Quick Linker arrow on an existing Note or Constraint, and drag it to the required connector; a  Notelink is automatically created to attach the Note or Constraint to the connector
