Description Richard Freggi CLA 2015-09-28 05:49:30 EDT
For visually pleasing diagrams, sometimes we want edges such as lines or arrows to connect to predefined points on the node.  This is the default behavior implemented in Papyrus.  I suggest to add an additional behavior, selectable via Context Menu or CSS: the edges connect by pointing to the center of the Node.  For example in use Case Diagrams when may Actors are associated to a Use Case, it looks better if the lines are all pointing towards the center of the use case.  If you move the Use Case in the Diagram, the same visually pleasing alignment is maintained without time wasting need to realign the edges manually.  This is also true for Class Diagrams etc.
