Title: Diagram Layout
Post by: martin1 on August 21, 2015, 04:16:22 pm

Hi,
I deal with somewhat large models where its corresponding diagrams are generated automatically. My models consist of blocks with ports, unfortunately port-to-port connections (relationships) are rendered horribly and demand huge efforts for beautification. Problems are lines through blocks, overlappings, etc. Is there any solution for these kind of problems? Any additional tools?

Thanks

Martin

You can try the automatic layout either manually or though automation via Project Interface.LayoutDiagramEx ()

If that doesn't do what you need then you can still write your own layout function.

Ports are not part of the auto-layout mechanism.

I once wrote some scripting helpers to aid with the layout of ports (distribute even/align opposite ports).
