Connectors crossing

Post by sikra »

I need a little help. When two connectors are crossing is there a possibility to make this crossing with litle curve ( you know like in Visio) or it can be only done in straight crossing mode. Thank You. Daniel

Sorry, OOo does not support connector crossings at all.

It has been requested: Issue 81290: smart connectors when crossing another connector

Although it would entail more work, you can create a semi-circle by:

Select Basic Shapes>Circle Pie.

Create a half circle, change the fill to none.

Modify>Break then Modify>Break again and then delete the 2 line segments.

Add this item to your gallery for easy access.

Drop it over the line you want to cross and then use line segments on either side.

I have to use a similar method for rounding corners of lines when they meet at 90 degrees since Draw lacks the ability to round corners.
