Hi,

Is it possible?

We have some "aesthetic" issues with the links, it's impossible put the thumbs in a good position dragging&dropping:





Is there a way to force the links to honour the grid and honour the borders of the DiagramNodes?

In the other hand, I'm trying to write a method that gets rid of the redundant control points in a link. I mean, sometimes a straight link is splitted in two segments, and the central thumb is close to the final thumb, then the text appears very close to the element, like this:



So I want to execute a function that clean those redundant points every time a link is modified. I've tried:

private void DatabaseDiagram_LinkModified( object sender, LinkEventArgs e )
{
    List<Int32> redundantPointsIndex = new List<Int32>();
    Point? lastPoint = null;
    for(Int32 i=0;i<e.Link.ControlPoints.Count;i++)
    {

  Point controlPoints = e.Link.ControlPoints[ i ];

  if ( lastPoint.HasValue && lastPoint == controlPoints )


redundantPointsIndex.Add( i);


  lastPoint = controlPoints;
    }

    foreach ( Int32 p in redundantPointsIndex.OrderBy( i => i ) )
    {

  e.Link.ControlPoints.RemoveAt( p );

  // Problem: SegmentCount never changes...

  e.Link.SegmentCount = (Int16)(e.Link.SegmentCount - 1);
    }

    e.Link.UpdateFromPoints();
    e.Link.AutoRoute = true;
}
 

And the links appears correctly after execute that code over the link, but when I save and retrieve the link appears again bad. I think is because I cannot modify the segment count property. I've checked in debug mode, and no matters what value I substract from SegmentCount, it remains always in the same value. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Cheers.

SnapToNodeBorder helps a lot, but still have problems like the 3rd picture. I think that it would be solved if I could force the table nodes to honour the grid, is there an option to do that?

I'm a bit messed with the link routing I'd like use the exact saved postions, but at the same time I'd like when I move a node, the links route smartly... what do you recommend from your experience?

Cheers.
