Property Description
Routing

When a new connection is created, it uses the default style defined in the preferences settings. You can change the style of the connection line individually in the Properties view.

  • Styles:
    • Oblique – connection lines are not aligned with the horizontal or vertical axis, and you can create breakpoints anywhere on the connection line. If you drag the connection line, a new breakpoint is created at the drag point and two lines are created.
    • Rectilinear – the connection line always remains either horizontal or vertical.
    • Tree – arranges the connection lines on the Flow Design in a tree structure.
  • Avoid obstructions – connection lines go around objects.
  • Closest distance – connection lines pass through objects to shorten the distance of the connection line.
