Automatically Draw Pointers Between Two Devices

Menu: Tools>Cables>Draw Cables

Default keyboard shortcut: CC

Function:

Draw a pointers between two devices on the same sheet.

In order for Pointers to work they must be linked together. When you are drawing Pointers on the same sheet you can use the Auto Draw Pointer function which places and links the Pointers for you. If, however, you want to use Pointers to point off-sheet, you will need to draw the Pointers as you would any Terminal and link the pointers together manually.
