Stoyan,

Weeks after I got rid of the recursive link they have decided the want it back. I have set AllowSelfLoops to true and the link is being drawn but it is flat against the shape. It s a decision point and the line is flat on one side from the outgoing point to the incoming link. I guess they want that default kind of semi circle that it was. For the life of me, I am not sure what I changed that made it draw this way.

Following are my designer settings but I could be doing something else in code but I don't see anything. Do you have any recommendations on what I should look for? Thanks, Tom

I'm not seeing anything yet. Any keywords I might find that code by? Hate to be so blind here but I am kind of in the dark as to why the lines are just straight. They have segments that highlight when I hover over them but they are just straight as the side of the shape. Is there any kind of snapto setting that affect this?

Acutally, I think it is doing what you would expect it to do. It is drawing a straight line from control point to control point. My testers want to see a curved line that has some separation from the decisiion point. Maybe I can do this in some sort of custom draw?

No, I just using ShapeNodes and Links. I have 3 different kinds of links. How about drawing them in different colors? Is there any sample code or can you give me any pointers on how to just draw the entire link in red, yellow, or green based on some tag in the link (which I already have).

beautiful...thanks
