Using Auto-Connect

Select Edit > Auto-Connect (or click the toolbar button) to enable the Auto-Connect feature.
When Auto-Connect is enabled, any time you drag-and-drop a device onto the system diagram, VA
automatically draws a connection between the device and an available port on the Central Controller (or
intermediate device required for the device to connect to the Controller, such as a Networking or
Expansion device).
By default, this option is enabled.

Removing Device Connections

To remove a device connection:
1. Select a device in the system diagram and right-click to open the System Diagram context menu.
2. Select Remove Device Connections.
Alternatively, you can select Remove Connections from the Device menu. You can
also select a connection line and press Delete.
