Arrow heads in packages
« on: February 15, 2013, 07:16:38 am »
I'm new to EA and have a question: when drawing packages, is there any way to make the arrow heads that connect to packages to reach all the way down to the package borders?

Not really, choose connection points on shape borders when possible.

A weird hack could be to override shape scripts for the package elements in question and place the 'folder grip' outside of the main shape border (not really recommended).

And the latter would only work for stereotyped packages.

Too bad, arrows all the way would look better I think.

It's the same with the UC ellipsis. You might request that as new feature.

... or any other non-strictly-rectangular borders shape!
