Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 83020
Intelligent connector routing
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:32:21 UTC
It would be nice to have an attribute that could be placed on connector lines that allow them to "intelligently" route themselves. Using such a feature, when a connected object is moved, the connector line tries to avoid going through other objects and other connectors.
This is an enhancement.
You are correct, it is an enhancement... that is why I set the "Issue type" to "Enhancement" :)
