How to Separate Overlapping Connectors

Hello,

I have a large diagram with many connectors running around that tend to
overlap one another. I need to be able to visually distinguish these
connectors from one another at all times because the connectors represent
electrical connections. This will eventually be printed, so being able to
select and follow individual connectors does not help.

Are there any options that I might have missed that will cause connectors to
automatically separate from one another (I need about 0.125 inches between
them, at the least)? I have tried messing around with the Routing settings
under FilePage Setup, but with no luck.

Also, is there any way to make a connection point on a shape only accept one
connector when using dynamic connectors? (Overlapping often occurs right
before connecting to a shape because two connectors use the same connection
point.)

Thank you in advance,

Carl

Under File Page Setup Layout and Routing you can find several settings
to help. Set Separate to All Lines, Overlap to No Lines and Line Jump Style
to Gap. There is no way to automatically force Visio to only use one
connector per connection point, so you may have to manually relocate a few
connectors to alternate connections.
