Improve Layouts and Reroute Lines function of Rhapsody

Problem: The current solution from IBM for layouting (Hierarchical, Othogonal) and reroute lines is not functioning very good.

For example consider attached image, the "Complete Relations" feature followed by "RerouteLines" feature produces the diagram that is useless since the user cannot identify which port is connected to which other port.

Consider the other image attached, The diagram is not at all useful when Layout>>Hierachical option is used. All ports are grouped together with no to very less space between them. Same problems happens with other layouts as well.

Possible Solution: IBM should improve the layouting features provided by them with Rhapsody. As a start, RerouteLines feature should be fixed and then some more advanced layouting techniques need to be used for creating different layouts.
