Is it possible to make a free format / curved line in an EA diagram ?

Thanks

A bit EAUI: Create a Relation between elements. Now you can use bezier lines. Then change the type to association. Still you can use bezier though association basically does not allow that.

You may find it easier to create an association and give it the tagged value _Bezier (case-sensitive) with the value "1".

Ah! I was wondering where that info was hidden :)

No longer hidden. It will be in the Associate element description (UML Dictionary) in the next release of EA.

EDIT: Wider application, more detail, therefore we have added the information to the Connector Styles topic (in the previous link) instead. Changes will appear with the next product release.
