Reflexive Arcs - NO Link to Element Feature
« on: March 20, 2012, 01:49:16 pm »
The Link to Element Feature mechanism isn't available for reflexive arcs.

So figuring I could use EAUI to get around this, I first created an non-reflexive arc and set the value for the Link to Element Feature (in this case for the origin).

Then dragged the destination back onto the origin vertex only to find the Link to Element Feature dropped.

Why are some arcs "more equal than others"?

It's time that EA dropped this dichotomy between reflexive and non-reflexive arcs.  Especially with the latest set of line styles.  As far as I can see, a reflexive arc is just an arc drawn using orthogonal square line style.

Either way, reflexive arcs should be able to have their Link to Element Feature set.
