Z Order > Bring Forward
« on: October 22, 2013, 09:51:30 pm »
I'm creating a deployment diagram and some of my connectors overlap my devices, common sense would have it that manipulating the Z-Order would allow me to "tidy" this overlap by using the Bring Forward et al. options but they don't seem to work.  As a test I have tried overlapping two devices and using the same option to no avail so it doesn't appear to be a limitation of connectors, any ideas?

You can't change the z-order of connectors by design. With simple crossings as in older EA versions that was no issue. But now with hops it looks like a design flaw.

Use the feature request or the bug report link bottom right of this page. (Just to put you on ground: chances for a change are near to zero for that kind of request; but who knows.)
