Rhapsody should give the user to option to prevent lines from overlapping

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When lines (connectors, flows etc) are drawn or moved in such a way that they are parallel to an existing line, Rhapsody will often snap one line on top of the other. This behaviour happens regardless of whether snapping is turned off or smart routing is turned on or off. Please provide a property to disable this behaviour so that a minimum number of pixels can be maintained between parallel lines.

    Hi Suneel,


    Please check with development. They confirmed that this behaviour does occur when lines go to the outer frame and this is what the user wants to prevent. So from part to part in the same frame it is fine. But from part to block (frame) the lines will snap on top of each other.


    Regards,


    Ryan

    Hi,

    We were not able to reproduce this behavior.
    It was possible to get lines to be parallel and very close (smaller than a grid spacing).

    Need more info regarding use case and setup (properties?) - maybe there is something we are doing differently.

    Regards,
    Suneel...
