Description ibennetch 2005-06-20 03:23:12 UTC 
When two connectors cross (as perpendicular lines), they currently simply cross 
at a right angle. It would be very useful to have (as an option, perhaps?) the 
ability to make one connector hop over the other in the form of a short arc. 
Microsoft Visio and several CAD programs support this behavior which is 
commonly used in electrical diagrams of all sorts. See the attachment for an 
example of what I mean if it's not clear. Thank you for a fine product.

I need to prepare line diagrams for electronic installations.  The lines represent patch cables etc. crossing over each other as they connect different components.  These crossings are very confusing without the line jumps other programs put into these types of diagrams.

Is there any planned integration for this enhancement into the OpenOffice project?
It's really useful for creating line diagrams.

This is a great feature. I would like to see this feature in a future.
