Hello, I am evaluating your product for a project.

I am really enjoying using it, however I am having a real problem with routing especially when drawing out relationships within a database.

Without routing the tables are laid out side by side, as soon as define the relationships and switch on routing some of the tables are stacked on top of each other and the routes between the rest are poor (crossing boxes etc). I have fiddled around with the cost of turns etc.. But it does not seem to have much impact.

Any general tips around routing that I should be using.

i am using this to build the relationship

ObjNode.AddRelation(iSourceTableFieldPos,Relationship.OneToMany,ObjOtherNode,iDe
stTableFieldPos);


And then


diagram.RouteAllLinks();
RefreshDiagram(diagram);
diagram.ResizeToFitItems(10);
diagramView.ZoomToFit();

Mark

it applies a layout ... possibly the wrong one ?

I think autoroute is set anyway because I set the
diagram.RouteLinks = true befire creating the relationships.

What i want to happen is for the nodes with most links to be central and then the other nodes to be positioned around the edges like a star.

private void RefreshDiagram(Diagram ObjDiagram)
{
TreeLayout tl = new TreeLayout();
tl.NodeDistance = 80;
tl.Arrange(ObjDiagram);
ObjDiagram.RouteAllLinks();
}
