You’ll use connector lines to represent the wires, and you’ll add a halo to one of the wires so that the wires are differentiated. A halo is a mask that displays an outline on a connector line. By using halos, you can easily view and modify diagrams that contain overlapping wires without having to edit the nodes excessively. Finally, you’ll add text labels and an arrowhead to complete your wiring diagram.  \nThe following illustration shows what your completed diagram will look like.  \nWhat you will learn  \nIn this tutorial, you will learn to do the following:  \n• create connector lines  \n• add halos to curves  \n• apply a text label to connector lines  \n• apply arrowheads to connector lines  \nPage 1 of 10 Corel DESIGNER tutorial  \nOpening the working file  \nTo begin this tutorial, you will open the working file that contains the diagram.  \nTo open the working file  \n1 Click File 􀁠 Open.  \n2 Open the file connectors.des, which you downloaded earlier.  \nDrawing connector lines  \nTypically, when beginning to create a wiring diagram, you add objects that represent items such as switches and plugs. You then draw connector lines to show how wires connect the different objects.  \nConnector lines are attached to objects at anchor points. By default, anchor points appear on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of an object. You can move anchor points along the perimeter of an object and to any area inside an object. In this tutorial, you will connect lines to the default anchor points.  \nTo draw wires in the diagram  \n1 In the toolbox, click the Connector tool button, and click the Right-angle round connector tool  .  \n2 On the property bar, type 0.125 in the Rounded right angle list box.  \n3 Type 4 in the Outline width list box.  \nIn the next step, you’ll connect the left and right IA plugs.  \n4 Click midway along the bottom edge of the L plug, and then drag to midway along the bottom edge of the R plug to complete the connector line.  \nPage 2 of 10 Corel DESIGNER tutorial  \n5 Repeat step 4 to connect the left and right OA plugs.  \nNow you’ll connect the two U-shaped wires that you just created.  \n6 In the toolbox, click the Right-angle connector tool  .  \n7 On the property bar, verify that the line weight is still set to 4.0 pts. Connect the two Ushaped wires by clicking the midpoint of the left U-shaped wire and then dragging to the midpoint of the right U-shaped wire.  \n8 Now you will use the same method to draw two more wires to connect the IV/OV plugs and the IS/OS plugs. Ensure that the Right-angle connector tool is still active.  \n9 Click midway along the bottom edge of the IV plug and drag to midway along the bottom edge of the OV plug.  \nPage 3 of 10 Corel DESIGNER tutorial  \n10 Note that the connector line that you have just drawn overlaps another connector line. To make the newer connector line more visible, you can drag it down a bit.  \n11 Repeat steps 9 and 10 to draw a connector line between the IS and OS plugs.  \nYou have now drawn all the connector lines for your wiring diagram. Next, you’ll apply formatting changes to your connector lines.  \nFormatting connector lines  \nYou can change the appearance of connector lines in your wiring diagram. Changing the color, width, and line patterns of connector lines helps create a coherent, easy-to-follow diagram. In this section of the tutorial, you will apply various formatting changes to the connector lines and add halos. A halo is a mask behind the connector line that makes the line easier to see when it is ontop of another object. Usually, the halo is the same color as the page, although you can choose any color that you like. Halos are particularly handy when you have overlapping connector lines in your wire diagram, because they let you see which connector line is on top.
