I first create the boxes with a default value for bounds e.g. 50,2,50,30
There is also some default text: "Needs Update"
The font is created as :
box.Font = New Font("Arial", 2.6, GraphicsUnit.World)

I then set the text to "Category field (on a Constituent Attribute) is one of the following; Origin for at least one Constituent Attribute record?"

I set the box.TextPadding = new Thickness(3)
and then I do a box.ResizeToFitText.

At this point it is not connected with any links.

A bit later the links are added.

I then lay out the boxes
I then route them with the orthogonal router.
I then do Diagram.ResizeFitItems(5)
and then a Diagram.ArrangeLinkLabels

Thanks

David

Hi,

I have tried the following with the sample file you attached earlier but cannot see any labels overlapping nodes:

Code
Select All
diagram.LoadFromXml("diagram_001.xml");
foreach (ShapeNode node in diagram.Nodes)
{
	node.Font = new Font("Arial", 2.6f, GraphicsUnit.World);
	node.Text =
		"Category field (on a Constituent Attribute) is one of the following; Origin for at least one Constituent Attribute record?";
	node.TextPadding = new Thickness(3);
	node.ResizeToFitText(FitSize.KeepRatio);
}
new OrthogonalRouter().Arrange(diagram);
diagram.ResizeToFitItems(5);
diagram.ArrangeLinkLabels();


Could you save and attach the diagram in which you see overlapping?
