Join Lines for smoother UML diagrams Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
Hi all,

What's an efficient way to join lines e.g. in an UML class diagram to form a single line from multiple lines like in http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/ARCHIVE...pe_Old_UML.png ?

I've tried to put the one line where all other lines should meet below the common class all others are depending on and then snap the lines from the objects below the class to that line, but the results looked chaotic, with OmniGraffles layout engine using different points for each line to break them by 90 degrees (hope you know what I talk about ;-)), i.e. the lines were not vertically aligned as in the example given.

Is the fastest way to achieve such results to completely layout each line by hand? Or is there some simple option I have missed to just give the start and endpoint and still have neatly aligned arrows from multiple sources all joining in one target object?

thanks,
jan
