I have searched the forum and done some poking around but I am not able to control the routing of orthogonal lines to the degree that I need. There seems to be some complaints about this but I would have expected there to be more, so am thinking I am not understanding the process 100%. Hopefully someone can explain.
I use Omnigraffle primarily for network diagrams and when I am drawing orthogonal lines connecting network points on devices, the line leaving the magnet normally always goes down or to the right before heading in the direction that it needs to go. Adding a midpoint as close as possible to the magnet does not help. This is not a problem when there is a single row of magnets but if there are rows of magnets directly on top of one another, the line heads down and makes a U turn before heading up, or heads right before heading up or in any other direction. Can one get the line to go up first?
