Run-by connector

[fwoolz]

All,

Some diagramming programs have a feature that I will call a "run-by" connector, where a number of blocks in a row can be connected to another block (or to each other) with a single connector placement. Such a feature would be very useful in structural diagrams where tree-style connectors link many blocks to one (e.g. generalization, nesting).

I run across this often in Requirements diagrams, where it's often necessary to link many sub-requirements to a higher level requirement. Having a "run-by" option would be a big time-saver.

Cheers,

Yes, something along this line would be a real time saver. This is particularly the case with the new tree-style connectors, where several clicks are required to get things set up.

That would be a good place to connect the association class (which is currently bound to the middle of a connector).
