Hi,

Is there a keyboard shorcut or faster method to make a connector between two elements?

Thanks.

F3 will repeat the last connector.

For larger numer of relations use the relationship matrix.

I appreciate the suggestion, but F3 isn't quite what I'm looking for. It still requires dragging the cursor between two elements. Ideally, I'd like to be able to select two elements and then use a keyboard shortcut to automatically connect them.

You could write an add-in but then again EA offers no easy way via the keyyboard :-(

This is not a shortcut key, but the Relation Matrix view might be help.
