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. -- Mark Nelson Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
