Connect two objects using menu commands
1 Option-click the triangle of the source object.
2 In the Reassign Track shortcut menu, browse to the layer that the destination object is in, then
choose the object name.
A cable connection is created between the two objects. This method is ideal for creating
connections between layers, but can also be useful when a large number of closely spaced

You can also open a second Environment window (showing the destination layer), and connect
the objects graphically between the windows.
A cable connection to another layer looks like this:
Remove a cable connection
Do one of the following:
m Click the cable with the Eraser tool.
m Select the cable, then press Delete.
m Drag the cable over the triangle of the source object.
m Choose Edit > Clear Cables only to remove the selected cables, without clearing any objects that
happen to be selected.
This is useful when you want to clear all cables leading to, or from, one or more objects, due to
the fact that selecting objects also selects all associated cable connections.
