How to make the OrthogonalRouter work? (Read 3101 times)

	Hi, I'm trying to use the OrthogonalRouter after manually positioning the nodes, but it's not doing anything. I have used to do this with the WinForms version, and that worked. Most of the nodes are placed in containers, so I've tried to set KeepGroupLayout to false, but that didn't help. I've also toggled the IgnoreLayout on links, but nothing changed. Any hints would be highly appreciated. Thanks, -Mihai PS: Is there a sample app in the installer to demo the OrthogonalRouter?

	Hi, I think we made KeepGroupLayout always enabled for containers at some point, which will prevent OrthogonalRouter from finding paths inside them. Try excluding them like this instead of setting IgnoreLayout: Code var items = new DiagramItemCollection(); foreach (var item in diagram.Items) if (!(item is ContainerNode)) items.Add(item); var r = new OrthogonalRouter(); r.Arrange(diagram, items); I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Thanks, that did the trick! The problem now is that I can't get the links to retain their anchor points. I have tried to: Set the OrthogonalRouter.Anchoring to various values, including Anchoring.Keep Set the Diagram.SnapToAnchor to OnCreateOrModify but none produced the desired results. All the links are between custom ShapeNode(s) with custom AnchorPattern(s), contained in ContainerNode(s), and they have the OriginAnchor & DestinationAnchor properties set. Any ideas? Best Regards, -Mihai
