Making the Attachments

After you initiate define attachment mode, you actually define the attachments by clicking the mouse button in one component and dragging it to another. Each component can be attached at one of five different points: each side of a component and its center.

You can define only one attachment from each of these points. However, you can create many attachments to a single component section by defining the attachments at an attachment point from another component.

The section that owns the attachment is the section from which you initiate the drag. This section is referred to as the defining section. Knowing which section defines that attachment is important when you perform certain actions on the attachment. For example, to delete an attachment, you select {pseudo} in the Define Attachments window and then click in the defining section for that attachment.
