Hey Tangtang!
I’m happy to add any improvements, but I’m not sure what you mean. Can you describe this link in more detail?

Dear friend!
For example, I create an excel sheet, import it into VC 4.8, and it can automatically create a process flow line. There is no need for us to create a process flow line manually.
