Adding links

A link is a special type of symbol used to connect two standard symbols. You can customize the shape, color, visibility, orientation, and associated text and pop-up menus for labeled links. For less sophisticated links, such as the Simple Link or the Colored Link, you can change a limited number of these parameters.
