2. Select Edit Component Parameters from the Balloon contextual toolbar or from the Authoring toolbar.

   The Component Parameters Edition dialog box appears.

   Your connector is now an array of 4 connectors.

This section describes how to connect an array of connectors to another connector.

1. Select a connector and then click Connection from the Balloon contextual toolbar or from the Authoring toolbar.

   A connection line appears and follows the cursor.

2. Select the connector with which you want to create a connection.

   The Create Modelica Connection dialog box is displayed.
