    ByVal value As Boolean _
)

C++

public:
bool get_RouteArrows ()
void put_RouteArrows (
    bool value
)

 Property Value

A boolean value. The default is false.

 Remarks

Provides default value for the AutoRoute property of arrows. Routed arrows avoid Obstacle nodes by finding the shortest path between their origin and destination that does not intersect the nodes.

Arrows having their AutoRoute property enabled are re-routed if they intersect with newly created nodes. Thus when constructing a large diagram programmatically, each arrow might be re-routed many times, once for each call to CreateBox or CreateTable whose location arguments collide with arrow's bounding rectangle. That might slow down diagram creation a lot. To avoid it, first create all nodes, and afterwards the arrows; that requires a single calculation for each arrow's route.
