Break a Run at a Branch

	This task shows you how to break a run at a branch.
	There may be times when you want to move all the segments of a connection at the same time. Breaking runs at branch intersections is one way. When you break runs at branch intersections you create what is called a star connection. In this type of connection (recognizable by a square or diamond-shaped symbol), all the segments joined at a connection will move if you move the connection. In a master-slave connection, the slave will maintain a connection with the master if you move the master. The illustrations below show 1) a run with a star connection; 2) the star connection is moved by dragging with the mouse; and 3) all nodes connected to the star connection move to the new star connection location in order to maintain that connection.
	1.	Click on the `Star Connection` button.
	2.	Click on the routable, system or network you want to convert to star connection. A branch connection symbol will display at all branch connections in the selected element. A pop-up panel will ask: `OK to continue?` Click `Yes`. The connection will be converted. The illustrations below show a branch connection converted to a star connection, with the diamond-shaped star connection showing. The illustration on the left shows that the main section consists of one segment. But after conversion to a star connection it is broken at the connection into two segments.
