About [Orientation] in connector settings
- If there are two types of relationships between two models, a forward and a reverse direction, both connectors are defined, and both setting items [Orientation] are set to [Both], then the connector is added. Sometimes it is necessary to select the type of connector.
- On the other hand, if [Forward] and [Backward] are set for the setting item [Orientation] of each connector, the connector type will be automatically determined according to the operation direction when adding the connector, and the selection operation will You will be able to add connectors quickly without having to.
