6. To create a reference connection between a Collaborator item and an element in another repository, go to the Connection Manager tab, select and expand the Collaborator repository in one column and the second repository in the other. In our example in Figure 7, we have opened the MagicDraw model on the left and Collaborator on the right.

   1. Select Reference as the Connection Type in the center column.

   2. Create a reference connection by dragging an element in one column on top of an element in the other. Confirm that you want to create a reference connection. In our example, we dragged the Attack Submarine Diesel block in SysML onto the Hello Collaborator Review review in Collaborator.
