drawing {or dragging} a connection Explanation: This sounds like you are using a GUI to design the system. Think of MSDraw where you pick one of the handles (those open dots at the end of the lines) and you can move one end around without moving the other. Then, you can connect that line by dropping it near another item, if you have your setting right. I have seen systems where you drop various subsystem components and then connect them in this way. |

draw up a connection Explanation: I took it word by word. Of course the word draw is not meant here as drawing but rather an action : draw (drô) v. <drew, drawn, draw-ing> n. v.t. 1. to cause to move in a particular direction by or as if by a pulling force; pull; drag (often fol. by along, away, in, out, or off). Like as in dragging a Window within an OS. |
