making a mouse hole?

[Jamie Holloway]

I am attemping to modify the behavior on a line connector so that when two lines cross, one line curves and "hops" over the other line, as opposed to forming an X at the intersection of the lines. Cannot find this in help, and not certain what you call the behavior either. Any information appreciated.

On the Page Setup window is a tab called "Layout and Routing". Towards the bottom is a couple of settings for "Line jumps". You might try playing with these settings.

Line jumps work great when you use the connector tool, they don't seem to work at all if you use the line draw tool, and I've not experimented with using any of the connectors from the stencils.

The difference is that the line jumps work with dynamic connectors. Lines
drawn with the line tool are not dynamic connectors.
