Setting line style

Connectors are the lines that connect two shapes. It is much harder for us to distinguish the straight spaghetti-like connectors when more shapes and more connectors are created. BP-VA provides five connector styles to help you deal with the connectors, namely Rectilinear, Oblique, Curve, Round Oblique and Round Rectilinear.

Setting connector line style

To change the style of a particular line, right click on the target connector and select Style and Formatting > Connector Style and one of five line style options from the pop-up menu.
