Central Alignment
« on: December 09, 2010, 12:12:18 am »
I have made some element and connected the elements. It is a scetch and I need to give it a clean and crisp look. So you select the elements and then choose Align Centers Vertical and all the elements are aligned ... except the connectors. They are now a zigzag from element to element.
Request: if I perform an Align Center can all the connectors between the selected elements also be aligned?

Steven,

What would you do then when you have multiple connectors between two elements?
I think it would be better that you actually need to select the connectors as well to be aligned.

Multiple connectors between two elements? Why would I want to do that?

Because if there exists more than one semantically unique relationship between the two elements, then you probably should represent it by the same number of connectors between the two elements...
