Creating 45 degree connections

[Aksel Nielsen]

Hello!

Is it possible to override some methods or create extensions for drawing connectors such as orthogonal but including 45 degree directions? I can use polyline, but I want make this more comfy. For example, below I paint it to show what I want see.

Hi Aksel Nielsen,

Requirement: How to create 45-degree connections

Diagonal direction connectors can be created by adding straight segments with specific points to the connector’s segments collection. Straight segments can be added/removed at any intermediate point of a connector and it can be edited to get desired angles.

Please refer following UG documentation link to learn more about straight-segment customization,

We have attached the sample and video to demonstrate the behaviors.

Thanks for the responce. 

Yes, I know that I can use segments and manually create a 45 degree connection. But I mean something else.

For example,  when I try connect from ports in corners (top-left, top-right, etc), diagram programmatically permits creating only 45 degree connections. And corners between segments can be only 45 (or 135 ) degree too. I know that I can draw every connection with segments  in this style manually by myself, but I want that diagram does itself.

Hi Aksel Nielsen,

Requirement: How to programmatically create segments of connectors at a specific angle?

We have used our ObjectDrawn event to programmatically construct connector segments at a particular angle. We have prepared a simple sample to illustrate this. In the sample, we've included code that creates connector segments between two nodes on the same X-axis. You can use our implementation as a guide to develop your own codes for creating connector segments at specific angle to meet your specific needs. For your convenience, we've attached both the sample and a reference video.
