Hi,

You might enable Diagram.RouteLinks, set LinkStyle = Cascading, and set a higher RoutingOptions.CrossingCost. CrossingCost is considered only for cascading links.

I hope that helps,

You can email it to me - click the icon on the left - or upload it on your server and link to it from here.

If there are many links, you might try using a bit smaller RoutingOptions.GridSize. If there aren't enough grid squares to fit all links, they will end up sharing some squares and will overlap.

Hi,

Have you decreased Diagram.RoutingOptions.GridSize or Diagram.GridSize? From the screenshot it looks as if RoutingOptions.GridSize has a large value (that's the distance you can see between parallel link segments in the dense area at the top-right). As a rule of thumb, if there are N links going between a pair of adjacent nodes, the distance between these nodes should be at least (N+2) * RoutingOptions.GridSize to avoid overlapping segments. So you might try either placing the nodes further from each other, or setting a smaller Diagram.RoutingOptions.GridSize value.

Additionally, routing preserves the end-point positions of links. To avoid overlapping first and last segments, you might have to distribute the link end-points along the sides of nodes so that links do not start or end at the same point.

Another option is the OrthogonalLayout: it arranges only links, without moving nodes, and it does not use a fixed-size grid but tries to distribute the links uniformly across the space available between nodes.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
