Orthogonal Style Lines don't terminate consistently
« on: August 24, 2017, 04:57:36 pm »
I added 23 objects (all same metatype and size) to a diagram.  I needed to connect them to one object also on the diagram.  So I used the Quicklinker to make the first link and then used [F3] to repeat the relationship for the other objects.  So far, so good!  I noticed after the first half-dozen or so of these operations, that the lines were overlaying each other at the destination end (the one object I'm connecting to).  Cool, I thought!  That's neat!  However, as I kept adding connections and the side to which the destination was connecting changed, the subsequent lines didn't overlay each other on the second side.  That's inconsistent.

Could I suggest that the default terminations of the Orthogonal line styles be the centre of the side EA has decided to attach it to?  In the first case above, the lines were overlayed at one corner of the side.  In the second case, they were distributed across the side.
