Arrow bounds

Hi,


Can I force the arrow to stay within the bounds of the flowchart, even when the boxes are moved around?

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,

If you need this for auto-routed arrows, you could place a transparent box in the background, make it as big as the diagram, and then the route-finding function will be limited to the boundaries of that box.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi,

I have the flowchart that is 600 X 600 inches. Do you forsee any performance problem that can be caused by placing a large rectangle of that size?

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,

The box size should not cause problems. However, if an arrow goes from one corner of this rectangle to the opposite one, the algorithm might not be able to allocate enough memory for the grid it uses to find a path. And even if the memory is enough, I guess it will take a lot of time to evaluate the paths for such long arrows.
