Various Line Jump Options

As more shapes on your diagram, more miscellaneous connectors are overlapped with each other. It is hard to explicate on those intersections which connector you indicate. Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML) 8.0 supports line jump feature which is used to distinguish the intersection of two connectors. In this tutorial, you can learn how to set connector line jump option and then how to change the size of line jump in VP-UML.

Let's take the following class diagram as the example:
You can set the jumps options for either all connectors on the diagram or a target connector only. To change the jumps options of all connectors on the diagram, right click on the diagram's background, select Connectors and then select an option from the pop-up menu. Otherwise, right click on the target connector, select Style and Formatting > Connector Style and then select an option from the pop-up menu. In this example, right click on the diagram's background, select Connectors > Arc from the pop-up menu. The result of setting arc as line jump is shown as follows:
Furthermore, the size of line jump can be customized in either in the current diagram or the future diagram. If you only want to set to the connectors of current diagram, right click on the diagram's background, select Connectors > Large from the pop-up menu.

Otherwise, if you want to set to the connectors of future diagram, set it through option dialog box. Select Tools > Options from the main menu to open the Options dialog box.

In the Options dialog box, select Diagramming page and click Connector tab. In this example, check Arc and then select Large from Line jump size's drop-down menu under the Line Jumps section.
