To assign an element to be fed from a different element in the compartment, right-click on it. Select Connect From from the menu that is then displayed, then select the required element from the sub-menu. For example:

Note:
Compartments which are populated with the elements defined in a compartment typical
cannot be rearranged in this way. The Connect From menu option will not be displayed.
The element will then be assigned as a fed item for the selected element. If that item is already feeding another element, the element will added as a second fed item, and listed in the Fed Item 2 field. For example:

If there is already a second fed item it will be moved to the third fed item slot, and so on.
Note:
Compartment elements may feed more than two other elements, but the window will only
display the first two.
Note:
When a load that is not a compartment element is assigned to a compartment (for example
by using the Loads Assigned tab facilities), it is automatically added as the first fed item of the last element
added to the compartment, and listed in the Fed Item 1 field for that element. If there is already a compartment element assigned as that
element’s first fed item, that element is automatically reassigned as the element’s
second fed item (and listed in its Fed Item 2 field). If there is already a second fed item it will be moved to the third fed item
slot, and so on.
