Connections question

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

Is there some way to merge overlapping connections on a schematic?

Like in an orgchart where there is a line from the boss to his three
underlings, but the lines from the underlings appear to join into a single
line that connects to the boss?

Yes - except it's a very confusing orgchart. ;-)

Pin a goes to pin F...and pin h ...and pin M ...and pin t. And then I'll
find that pin h also goes to something else. My connections overlap so if I
move one, I find that the underlying connection stays put instead of being
part of that "top" connection.

Okay, so you want to move all the connections going to the boss to a new
boss. Is there a chance you may want to move only some of the lines?

You could create a shape (basically a small circle) that you connect all the
lines to and then have a single line from there to point a. Of course, this
no point wil have to be manually moved.

Or you could create an event that if a line is moved, the previous position
is checked for other lines and they are updated accordingly.

I'll see if I can come up with a better plan.
