Merging connectors
« on: June 27, 2008, 10:22:35 pm »
Hi,

I think this is a simple problem to solve but it has been driving me insane :)

I have an abstract class and want to add a generalization relation to three extending classes. How can I 'merge' the connectors in such a way that I see one arrow with three lines coming from it?

Thanks in advance!

Set tree style connectors. You can do this for each connector by right-clicking and using the context menu.

You can set tree style as the default for generalization (and only generalization) connectors from the EA main menu via the Tools | Options | Links dialog; you don't need to have a project open. Note that this will not retroactively affect any connectors you've drawn.

HTH, David

PS: If you use the context menu you can set either horizontal or vertical tree style, in case you need to have some 'sideways' connectors. These settings will override the Options setting (for these connectors only). You don't have this choice on the Options dialog.
No, you can't have it!
