Re: strange rerouting behaviour of connectors

Ok, found a solution. Setting the value of the ObjType Cell of the connected
shape (not the connector!) to 1 (visLOFlagsPlacable) solved the problem.
Don't ask me why...

Yes, I have done so before. That worked in this case, but I had problems in
some other cases (see example below). That's why I am posting here, because
either version has different cases where it (sometimes) works as expected and
others where it (sometimes) doesn't, although the values I set are equal.

I'm sorry, that I'm not able to specify more exactly.
If it helps, I can give another example (not copy&paste but reconstructed):
http://www.file-upload.net/download-618369/model2.vsd.html
There are four steps: add the connector and manipulate it three times.
The application I use has undo/redo methods (not the ones from Visio).
The fourth step is different as shown in the given file. Depending on
whether I undo/redo the adding of the connector shape or just the following
steps, it draws the left version (as I want it) or the right one.
This happens, if I set ConFixedCode to 2. If I set it to 1, always the left
version is chosen (which is fine, but causes the previously described problem
at the other part of the model)

Have you tried setting the ConFixedCode cell in the connectors to 2 ?

Thanks for your response! Well, I tried on Visio 2007 as well and I had
the
same problem, except for the direction of the rerouting.

On the following picture you can see the different behaviour.

The version in the middle is what I want in this case. It's the same in
both
Visio versions. On the sides you can see what happens with the connector
in
the other Visio file.
