Rounded corners on relationships to itself is not available in EA 13

[Kristofer]

Hi!

In EA 12 you could have rounded corners for relationships to itself. You just changed the line style to "Orthogonal rounded". This does not seem to work in EA 13 and you are forced to use a "Custom line", which does not have rounded corners. Since all other connectors in our diagrams are rounded, it looks a bit odd.

Is this "by-design" in EA 13, or a bug?

I just tried that in v12 and I ended up with a relationship I can't select and when I go into the properties via the link on the element it appears to have reset to custom.  If you had it working in v12 you must have been lucky :-)

I did not experience any big issues in EA 12.

I just discovered that you can "work-around" the bug(?) in EA 13 by first adjusting the connector the way you want it (while line style is custom), open its properties, change the line style to "Orthogonal - Rounded" and close the Properties dialog box. It will look strange in the diagram, but just save it anyway, close the diagram and open it again. It now looks "okay".

I hope they (re-)implement this feature. If all other connectors are rounded in the class diagram, people wonder if there is a special meaning why these connectors are not rounded.
