I'm using the Draw program to make a rather complicated flow chart and I

one more try at this question...

Don't know how to do what you want but back in the late sixties the man
who taught me to how to draw flowcharts taught me that if the lines
crossed then the logic was wrong. 40 years later, after earning a good
living designing and building software, I haven't found a counter
example ;-)

Thanks Harold...this isn't really a philosophical question or problem
though...my problem is one supervisor with a lot of underlings that
requires that I draw connectors to a lot of boxes where the navigation
to fit this all on one sheet requires several turns (but no lines
crossing).
Craig
I found a kludge (another philosophical concept) that might be OK for
you: draw intermediate boxes at the places where you want additional
changes of direction; link the supervisor to the underling via the
intermediate boxes using a connector for each link; set the size of the
intermediate boxes to 0.01 x 0.01 cm. The boxes disappear and the
connectors adjust themselves to give as complex a set of 90 degree turns
as you like.
