About [Orientation] of the connector setting item
  • If there are two types of associations, forward and reverse, between the two models, both connectors are defined, and both setting items [Orientation] are set to [Both], a connector is added. Sometimes it is necessary to select the type of connector.
  • On the other hand, if you set [Forward] and [Backward] in the setting items [Orientation] of each connector, the type of connector will be automatically determined according to the operation direction when adding a connector, and the selection operation will be performed. Allows you to quickly add connectors without.
