When I move a diagram node that has multiple links on it, the start points for the various links often change. Our diagram node is in the shape of a diamond, with the links extending from the right-most point of the diamond and the bottom tip of the diamond. (Our anchor pattern is set to LeftInRightOut for this node, and the links have AutoRoute set to true.) We programmatically place these links at these specific points when the diagram node is created.

All help appreciated, as always.

Thanks,

I checked and indeed we have the RoutingOptions.Anchoring set to Keep. Is there anything else that could be causing this behavior?

We don't set the link's Dynamic property ~ I'm assuming the default is false? Also, our issue is with the origin segment links; the end segments don't appear to change, only the beginning ones.

Stoyo,

Thanks for your help. Changed my approach to use an anchor pattern with defined anchor points, and that seemed to fix my issue (which I suspect had more to do with my none-too-hot math/geometry skills than anything else).   

Thanks,

Mark

Did you check out the smple "Anchors" project? That gave me a basic starting point.

//NB anchor points are relative to the origin as percentage, not the diagram as a whole

MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.AnchorPattern anchpatt = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.AnchorPattern();

anchpatt.Points.Add(new MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.AnchorPoint(100, 50, false, true));

anchpatt.Points.Add(new MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.AnchorPoint(50, 100, false, true));

anchpatt.Points.Add(new MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.AnchorPoint(50, 0, true, false));

[DiagramNode].AnchorPattern = anchpatt;

The links seem to do a better job of staying where they're supposed to when the anchor pattern is used as opposed to setting start points and end points.

It should be somewhere under the \program files\mindfusion\diagramming for silverlight\vs2010\samples folder.
