Rerouting Connections While Drawing

You can activate an option to allow drawing connection lines taking into account, as much as possible, certain rules. An example is drawing outside existing components, another is drawing connection lines orthogonal to the components to connect to.

From Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Modeling and Execution > Dymola Behavior Modeling , in the Editor tab, activate Reroute connection while drawing.
A line drawing algorithm is activated, by default trying to:
  • Draw connection lines outside existing components
  • Go outside the component in the shortest way, if the connector is inside the component
  • Draw connection lines orthogonal to the components to connect to

When you draw connections, the algorithm helps you improve the layout of the connection lines.

Note: You can also reorganize the connection lines afterwards. See Reorganizing Connection Lines.
