7.3) Adding Connections


  1. With variables in place, we now need to add the connections. Click on the “Arrow” button in the sketch menu. To draw a connection, click first on the variable from which the connection originates, and then on the variable where it should terminate. This will draw an arrow between the two variables.
  2. With the arrow tool still selected, connections will have a small circle handle attached to them. Click and drag this to curve the arrow as shown on the previous page.
  3. Add a further three arrows to complete the diagram. The structure of the model is now in place, all that remains is to add labels.
  4. Add connections from "savings" to "interest" and "INTEREST RATE" to "interest" in the same way as a casual loop diagram.
