Hi,

There is an in-built line routing in your NetDiagram application. I was wondering if there is a feature to restrict the routing of the line to within a particular rectangle.

For example, when we have an arrow connecting two boxes, would it be possible to stop the line from crossing  a specified rectangle, so that the line doesn't go all over the flowchart.

Thanks,

Hi,

I was interested in a feature of a box containing many other boxes. In this scenario, (for some particular reason) I would want the lines between the contained boxes to stay within the container box. So it isn't sufficient that the lines not go too far from the connected boxes, I would also not want them to cross the boundary of the container.

But on keeping a temporary boxes, to make the temporary box have any effect, I am guessing the temporary box (or the container) to be a blocking box. In this case, as I have pointed out in the earlier post with subject 'Line Routing', the line routing seems to get screwed up.

If you cannot provide this out of the box, I would like to know if it would be a very painful for me to extend your logic to include this requirement once I purchase the source code.

Hi,

It will be great if you can provide it out of the box. I would rather leave your source code in your hands, so I wouldn't have to bother about any merges as new versions of your software is released.

Thanks,

This version lets you route arrows inside container boxes:

If both ends of an arrow are inside a container box, it should be routed without leaving the container. The container must be marked as an obstacle.

Let me know whether this works fine for you, and we will releaser the 1.0.1 version if it's ok.
