Hi,

I am trying out some automated layout for the first time.

I have a set of nodes and links.

I want them to layout without changing the existing anchor selections.

However, after the layout is done, the Link.DestinationAnchor and OriginAnchor is set to -1, and visually the links no longer tie to the original anchor points.

The assignment of -1 happens during the automated layout operation. I assumed that the layout.Anchoring = Anchroing.Keep setting would force the layout to keep the link anchors?

[code]         var layout = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf.Layout.DecisionLayout();
         layout.Anchoring = Anchoring.Keep;
         layout.GrowToFit = true;
         var diagramItemCollection = new DiagramItemCollection();
         foreach (var diagramItem in MindfusionDiagram.Items.Where(x => x.GetType() != typeof(NestedDiagram)))
         {
            diagramItemCollection.Add(diagramItem);
         }

         layout.Arrange(MindfusionDiagram, diagramItemCollection);[/code]

Hi,

This build should keep them -

Node positions are not affected by anchor points though, the layout class aligns links to points only as a post-processing step at this time. So this could lead to links taking several U-turns to get from outgoing to incoming anchor points.
