IRPModelElement mSrcBk = null; //A block having a source port
IRPModelElement mDstBk=null; //A block having a destination port
IRPPort mSrcPort=null; //source port
IRPPort mDstPort=null; //destination port
IRPGraphNode mGSrcBk=null;
IRPGraphNode mGDstBk=null;
IRPDiagram targetDiag;
//Add your code to assign correct model elements to variables declared above
//Create a link between Src and Dst port and convert it to connector.
IRPLink newlink = mSrcBk.addLinkToElement(mDstBk, null, mSrcPort,mDstPort);
newlink.changeTo("connector");
//Refresh the active view to show the new link
IRPCollection targetElms = app.createNewCollection();
targetElms.addGraphicalItem(mGSrcBk);
targetElms.addGraphicalItem(mGDstBk);
targetDiag.completeRelations(targetElms, 1);
app.refreshAllViews();
The code below draws a connector between two ports as you can see below:
