HELP Please - Cant Adjust Control Flow Symbol
« on: June 16, 2009, 07:16:57 pm »
Got to be an easy one this for those regular users....

I created an activity diagram last year where my Control Flow symbols were taking dog-leg corners around other symbols nicely. Just how I wanted it!
In my new Activity diagram started today, the Control Flow symbols are refusing to reshape as the previous diagram yet (as far as I can tell) the properties of the offending symbol in the new diagram are set the same as those on the "good" diagram.

(Using V4.5)

Thanks in anticipation.

Because I'm a helpful kind of bloke I'm gonna now answer my own question....

Simply; once you've establish the Control Flow symbol between the two Activities you then:
1. Set the Style to Custom (right-click; Contro Flow properties)
2. Establish "dog-leg/elbow" - Right-click on middle of Control Flow line followed by selecting "Toggle Line Point at Cursor". This will establish a little black "thingy" which you can drag around.

Don't know about version 4.5, but in more recent versions you can just control click on a connector to add a line point.

You can also add line points while using the quick linker by pressing shift while dragging.
