Autorouting Connectors!
Saturday, September 3rd, 2005The Summer of Code has offically finished up. I’ve since caught up on some sleep and a few non-SoC things. I’ve also fixed up the obvious bugs, so this seems like a good time to announce what I actually achieved with the connector tool.
Autorouting polyline connectors are in CVS and work well. However you manipulate them, they will avoid objects marked as ‘avoided’. Objects can be marked as ‘avoided’ or ‘ignored’ via the connector context toolbar buttons. Tricky to explain, but easy to see and understand… just have to play with it.
The following wiki page has instructions and further discussion:
