AMBA Designer operates in the modes that Table 6 shows.
Table 6. AMBA Designer Canvas modes
Cursors | Mode | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Edit | For normal editing, for example, for adding, moving, cutting, copying, pasting, and deleting |
![]() | Movement | For moving system components around within the Diagram Window using the mouse |
- | Connect | For connecting ports of components and external ports |
The cursor appearance changes to indicate the mode. In Connect Mode for example, moving the cursor over a valid connection port outlines the port in a green shaded pattern, and the cursor changes to the connect icon.
