Line Pattern display, Line jumps and connectors

A

I am designing connectors for use in my companys diagrams and have found some
"funny" differences between Visios standard Line Patterns and my own custom
Line Patterns (tiledeformed and scaled - PatternFlag=&H41).
An explanation would be very much appreciated.

1:
Connectors using standard line patterns will add automatic line jumps when
crossing but connectors using custom line patterns will NOT add automatic
line jumps - otherwise no difference between the connectors

2:
Connectors/Lines using custom line patterns always has "something visible"
at corners and ends but connectors using standard line patterns sometimes has
"nothing" (a gap in the pattern) at corners/ends.

In a previous post I have been told that Visio uses the GDI+ engine to
control the display of the line patterns - hence the possibility of "nothing"
at corners/ends.
But why then are my custom line patterns treated differently.

My main problem of course is that I would like to have both automatic line
jumps and "something visible" at corners/ends but don't know how to get it.

I just realised that line jumps using ARC are working with custom line
patterns. I was using GAP - and would also prefer that, but I guess maybe I
will have to settle for ARC.
