[TRNSYS-users] "Link" trouble between two components.

[David Bradley]

Choi,
   Once you have selected a starting connection 
point, the 8 spots disappear. 8 new connection 
points should appear only when you move the mouse 
near the component that ends the link. Once in 
awhile, the connection points will not appear 
when you get near the end component. If this 
happens, click near the component anyway and a 
blue line (partially defined link) should appear 
unless of course a link already exists between the two components in questions.
Regards,
  David
