Connection problem ... [message #202951]

Hi all,

Hope someone can help with my problem

I have the following situation in my application:

Two steps A and B

- A is connected to B

- B can be connected to A as well

[ B1 ] <--------------> [ B2]

When at run time I connect the two nodes what I get is two lines that stands
one on the top of the other...

I have used bend point so once the line has been painted I can move/create a
bend point in one line and make them both visible.

Is there something that can help me to avoid this?

I would like to have still the possibility to use bend point but would be
nice if the connection line would avoid to lay (or even cross) another
connection.

Thanks to all

Kar

Are there also 2 connections in your model or do they only appear as
EditParts?

When this is the intended behaviour, use a fan router as the primary router:
so in your "root"-editpart :

protected void refreshVisuals()
{
ConnectionLayer cLayer = (ConnectionLayer)
getLayer(CONNECTION_LAYER);
AutomaticRouter router = new FanRouter();
router.setNextRouter(new BendpointConnectionRouter());
cLayer.setConnectionRouter(router);
}
