Attach note to link: hochange the connecting line?
« on: July 21, 2006, 04:50:58 am »
Hi,

to comment a link, I use "Attach Note or Contraint..." from the context menu.

This creates a note and connects it to the link. I want to change the point where the connecting line hits the link (for layout reasons only). Is this possible? How?

Thanks a lot, Peter

PS: I use EA version 5.00.772 build 772

If you Bend line at cursor (Rightclick on your link or Ctrl+Click there) you may get, what you want.
It works in late builds.

Thanks!

That works, although it's not perfect. You can't really define where the connection line points to. More a trial and error method :-)

I think someone has requested the ability to move the point of attachment where the link to the note meets the association line. We'll have to hope Sparx can get this onto their list.
No, you can't have it!

As David quoted, this has been asked already. In the meantime try the following: break the line into three pieces so the connections attaches to the middle one. You now can move that middle part with the attached line.
