There is no line hop function.

A work around would be to group a couple lines and an arc with a box the same color as the background behind it.  Make a vertical one, a horizontal one and copy and paste many times to get more.

Or learn to create your own shapes.

For the line function there is a zig zag line and polyline where you can add corners.  It is a little clunky, but you can draw from start to finish and them add all the corners and drag them around.

There is an option where you can repeat the last function by hitting spacebar.

Hi

 

This program has potential; I presently use Visio and DrawPlus X5.

 

I have a question, when drawing lines is it possible to have line hops on intersecting lines as in Visio and how can I get rid of the arrow when drawing lines, use a plain line as default. It would also be nice when drawing lines in technical diagrams to be able to keep the line tool active to draw one line after another instead of having to type “L” each time you want to add a connecting line.

I also find setting the colors confusing using code to select color.

 

Regards

 

John
