How to Set Line Jumps for Smart Connectors in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM offers several options for making connections between objects: Direct, Arc, Bezier, Smart, Curve and Round Connectors. A Direct connector draws a straight connection line between objects. A Smart connector draws an orthogonal arrow connector. A Spline connector draws a curved arrow connector. A Round connector is similar to a Smart connector but has rounded bends. You can select the radius to display for this rounding. You can change connector types in one click. This works for one or all connectors selected.

Direct Connectors are straight lines from the point of origin to the point of contact. Smart, Arc, Bezier and Round Connectors are drawn very similarly to Direct Connectors. However, they will automatically route around objects already placed in your drawing. When two smart connectors cross each other you can control how the two intersecting lines look. You can make them square, arched or angled and also set vertical or horizontal orientation. By default, this feature is disabled, so you will need to activate it.

On Mac:

• This feature is found under the Tools menu.

On PC:

• Find it in the Connectors Routing section of the Document tab.

Result: You can control how the jumps and orientation occurs on smart connectors.
