Modeling systems > Creating diagrams of models
Jumpers and connection arrows
Active Workspace provides visual indicators for relationship lines and port directions.
When two or more relationships cross between systems in the diagram, a jumper appears.
When you change port directions, the end-line symbol for the connection where it meets the port changes also. Port changes can result in routing changes.
- Output port: No arrow.
- Input or bi-directional port: Arrow points towards system block port.
