Public Property AutoRoute As Boolean |
true to route this link, or false otherwise. Initialized with the value of RouteLinks.
RemarksIf AutoRoute is enabled, a link automatically finds the shortest possible path between its origin and destination that doesn't intersect Obstacle nodes. The number and orientation of the link's segments are updated when the nodes it links are moved around. The positions of end points of a routed link are not changed, unless the link is also set to Dynamic.
Links are routed using current LinkRouter. The default is a CompositeRouter instance that chains PatternRouter and GridRouter. The former applies a few standard link paths, and the latter runs cost-minimization algorithm when more complex paths are necessary.
It is best to use AutoRoute with links of the Cascading style. Note that automatic routing overrides the RetainForm behavior.
