end.
If you right click the Lamp[1] functional block, point to Display Options, and then click Hide
Connectors, the connector SmartShape between the Switch[1] and Lamp[1] functional blocks is now

Hiding and Showing Connector SmartShapes Attached to a Functional

You can control the creation of connector SmartShapes and control whether they are hidden or

1. Right-click a functional block, click Properties on the shortcut menu, and then click the Options
tab.
To select multiple functional blocks, click one functional block, hold down CTRL, click all other
functional blocks with connectors you want to hide or show, right-click one of the selected
functional blocks, click Properties on the shortcut menu, and then click the Options tab.
