How to move queue boxes

[Eric Chaves <er...@uolet.com>]

Hi, my flow has a lot processors coming out from a single router processor
which makes the diagram a mess with queue's boxes overlapping each other.

sometimes when I connect two processors the queue box connecting them has a
small yellow square that allows moving the box around producing angled
lines but most of the time the connection is a straight line.

Is it possible to move only the queue box? how can I force this yellow
square to show up?

Thanks

Hi Eric,

Just to elaborate - once you double-click on the connection, it will create a new bend point as Pierre noted. this allows you to
then bend the line however you'd like. In addition to this, though, once a bend point has been created, you can click on a
connection's label and drag it to any one of the bend points. So if they get a little cluttered, you can create those bend points,
if needed, as a mechanism for moving just the label itself, even if you don't want to bend the line.

Thanks
-Mark

Hi Eric,

You can add a bending point by double clicking on the black line of the
relationship (and remove a bending point by double clicking on it).
