How do you connect two objects that are off screen?

#1

If you've got a big patch (and a small laptop) where not all the objects fit on the screen, how do you create a cable that links between two objects that don't fit on the screen at the same time?

#2

You could move the objects closer to each other, connect the cable and then move it to the right position, with the cable connected?

#3

Use send and receive objects

Ah, very handy, thanks!

is there a delay added when i use send and receive objects instead of cable (downwards, left to right)? or is it the same? does the placement of send and receive objects matter?
