890 Chapter 38 Working in the Environment
To make a connection between two objects—method 2:
1 Option-click the triangle, which will open a hierarchical menu.
2 Browse to the layer that the destination object is on, and choose the object name.
A cable connection will be 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 objects exist on a single layer.
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:
To remove a cable connection, do one of the following:
m Click the cable with the Eraser.
m Select the cable and press Backspace.
m Grab the cable, and plug it back into (drag it over) the triangle of the source object.
m Use Edit > Clear Cables Only to remove all selected cables, without also clearing any
objects that happen to be selected.
This is handy when you want to clear all cables leading to (or from) one or more
objects, given that selecting objects also selects all associated cable connections.
