Re: invisible connector points

vwf,

There is probably an interesting technical reason why line ends can automatically co-locate (usually a limitation in gtk+, statistically, but I think every Dia user wishes for it.

I am used to lines having a snap to grip at each end with CAD sketchers.

Hello Mike,

Picking that shape was a good suggestion. What I did was copying cnx.*
to my own set, and setting the circle to "style="fill:none;
stroke:none". This gives it a clickable size and is not visable (I hope
it is always invisable).

Thanks
