How can I set Avoid obstructions and Closest distance on my connections
to be true or enabled by default when the connection is drawn.

Thanks

Hi,

In your connection view factory override decorateView(...) method and set
avoid obstruction to true on the RotuingStyle

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks Alex, but I don't seem to have a *ConnectionViewFactory any more
as of M6 I believe. At least they are no longer generated for me. Is
that something I should still have?

You are wright the ViewFactorys are deprecated but you can use a
ViewProvider. A ViewProvider is generated with the name
<Diagramname>ViewProvider. Inside this you have creation methods for all
all view elements. Here you call the same stuff you could in the
ViewFactorys. You can either overwrite the stuff in the generated code or
provide you own ViewProvider via the
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.core.viewProviders extension.
