Connector Type Overlay
When Overlay Mode is enabled and one or more connection lines have been selected, a Connector Type Overlay will fade into the lower right hand corner of the Drawing Canvas.
The Connector Type Overlay application feature can be used to change the connector type for a selected conneciton line(s) within the Drawing Canvas. Select a connection line and then tap on the desired Connector Type in the overlay panel to make a change to an existing connection line. TouchDraw will remember the current selection in the Connector Type Overlay and apply it to new connection lines created with the Connection Tool.
You can select an existing connection line in the Drawing Canvas to choose a different connector type in the overlay panel. You must have the Show Overlays preference enabled for the Connector Type Overlay panel to appear in TouchDraw. Follow the steps below to enable this option:
-
Tap on the Settings Button in the Top Toolbar.

Use the slider located to the right of Show Overlays in the menu to enable this preference in TouchDraw. Touch and drag your finger to the right or tap on the slider to enable the preference.
-
The Connector Type Overlay will appear in the lower right hand corner of the Drawing Canvas when the Connection Tool or an existing connection within the Drawing Canvas is selected.
After enabling this preference, you will be able to select an existing connection line and choose a different Connector Type from the overlay panel. Follow the steps below to change the Connector Type for a selected connection line in a drawing:
-
Tap on the desired connection line in the Drawing Canvas to make a selection. In this example, a North-South connection line is selected.
