Link with Lines

Link cells to create mind maps, storyboards and diagrams.

 

To start drawing a line, select a cell, and then drag one of its round handles.

 

Drag towards:

 

  • Another cell to link the two together.
  • Another line to join them at a particular point.
  • Any empty area to create a blank linked cell.

Point on Lines

Adding points to a line lets you control its shape, enabling the creation of complex diagrams.

 

To add a point, right-click the line at the desired place or select the line and click  in the lower toolbar and choose Add a Point.

 

Points appear as green handles but only when that line is selected. Drag the point to reshape the line.

 

To link a point to a cell (or another point), hold the Ctrl key and drag the point towards your target.

 

To delete a point, right-click it and choose Delete Point.

Line Options

The following options also appear when you right-click a line or select a line and click  in the lower toolbar:

 

  • Appearance - change the style, thickness, and whether each end has an arrow.
  • Color - change the line's color.
  • Delete Line - delete the line.
