Network map
You can arrange connections on the map the way you need it. To make it more convenient, you can use the additional window to draw lines between them, highlight them with colors, add additional objects. All connections remain completely interactive, which means that you can open the necessary mode with a click on the connection you need.
There are two styles for arranging connections: as regular groups and as layers. You can create and delete layers, move connections between them to separate them in a more comfortable way. You can use the edit mode to configure the map. Additional windows with object and map properties appear once you enable it. Some options are available on the context menu of the map and connections.
