Hi

Looking for a good way to draw a connection from a figure to itself
Kinda like the "previousOrder" link in the first Rose diagram of the
"Getting Started with UML2" article at:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E /uml2-home/docs/articles/Getting_Started_with_UML2/article.h tml

Also is there a good way to position arbitary anchors dynamically at
anyone point and move it smoothly along the edges of the figure
e.g. "billTo", "shipTo"

thanks in advance

Isn't that the same as creating Bendpoints in a connection?

ChopboxAnchor works kinda like that. You can easily modify it to get the
desired effect.
