Connectors are automatically routed. This includes routing around objects marked for avoidance. To mark an object that connectors should not cross:
Select the objects to be avoided (e.g., with Strumento Selettore).
Select the Strumento Connettore.
Click on the Avoid objects
(
)
icon in the Controlli Strumento.
To allow connectors to cross an object (the default), follow the above procedure but
click the Ignore objects
(
)
icon in the Controlli Strumento.
Connectors are automatically rerouted when either an object that the connector is attached to is moved or when objects that are marked to be avoided are modified.
The Controlli Strumento for the Strumento Connettore has an entry for Spacing. This adjusts the «padding» around objects that connectors must avoid.
The Allinea e Distribuisci dialog has a clickable icon
(
) for automatically rearranging connectors and
connected objects in a «nice» arrangement. The placement is based
on the Kamada-Kawai
algorithm that treats the connectors as springs so that the
distance between the connector handles are
evenly spaced. Your mileage may vary.
