Connection Point Icon Properties

<sidebar>Sidebar: Icon Properties</sidebar> Connection icons are used to link from one part of a flowchart to another. Using this icon is more difficult to debug, and most well written programs will usually not need to use this icon.

When the flowchart reaches the jump point it jumps to the matching connection point and then continues execution.

Connection icons are used in pairs, part one is the connection point - the point in the flowchart to jump to. Part two is the jump point - the point in the flowchart to jump from. Both parts share a connection letter - in this case 'A'. Several jump points can reference one connection point.

Jump to Connection Point

Select the connection point definition that you wish to jump to. This option is not available if the icon is the definition of the connection point rather than a jump.
