Drag and drop a pattern

Overview

The Palette lists all of the available patterns, grouped by function. For example, the Loop pattern is part of the Control Flow group.

You can select any pattern from the Palette and drag it to the canvas, which represents a single route.

Procedure

To drag a pattern onto a route:

  1. In the Palette, locate the desired pattern.

  2. Select the pattern, drag it to the canvas, and then release the mouse button.

    [Note]Note

    You need not place the pattern in its intended location. You can easily move any node on the canvas by dragging it to a new location.

The new pattern appears on the canvas and becomes the selected node. The Properties editor displays a list of the node's properties for you to edit and configure.
