To hide a connector SmartShape directly attached to two functional block SmartShapes (not attached
using a reference SmartShape), select Hide Connectors on both functional blocks. The connector
SmartShape will be hidden at both ends. To show the connector SmartShape, you only need to select
Show Connectors on one of the attached functional blocks.
Unlike connector SmartShapes attached directly to functional blocks, a connector SmartShape attached
via reference can be hidden on one end while being shown on the other. To hide a connector
SmartShape attached via a reference SmartShape, select Hide Connectors on one of the attached
functional blocks. The connector SmartShape and its reference SmartShape will both be hidden on
that end. Repeat this step on the other attached functional block to hide the corresponding
SmartShapes on the other end of the connection.
The following series of figures demonstrates how you can hide and show connections. This example
uses two analog input functional blocks connected to an analog functional block. One connector
SmartShape is attached directly to both functional blocks; the other is attached via a reference
SmartShape. Show Connectors is set by default on all three functional blocks.
If you right click the Switch[1] functional block, point to Display Options, and then click Hide
Connectors. There is no change because Show Connectors is still set on the Lamp[1]functional
block.
