Break a Link for Readability

Links can become tangled in a complicated process and clutter your view. If you have many links crossing one area, or you want to link an operator across other branches to a distant operator, you can break a link.

Note: The link itself is not broken; only the visual representation of the link. Instead of a full line winding its way between two operators, the line is split into two matching numbered link symbols at the source and destination operators.

Follow these steps:

1. Identify the link you want to break between a source operator and a destination operator.
2. Right-click the link, and select Break Link.

   The link is broken, replaced by matching link markers at both ends of the link. The split link behaves the same way as an unbroken link.

   Note: To rejoin a broken link, right-click either numbered link marker, and click Join Link.
