Automatic Line Breaks Depending on Line Priority​.

Support for line jumps has been introduced in the Auto Formatting Rules feature. Two new format types have been added on the ‘Format to Assign’ tab in the ‘Auto Formatting Rule Details’ window:

• Add line jumps – allows the user to specify the behaviour of the line when crossing another line shape. It can be selected from a list of standard values:

  

• Line jumps style – allows the user to specify the style of jump if the line is the one which should break. It also can be selected from a list:

  

The new settings together allow the user to specify the behaviour of crossing lines depending on defined conditions. If the settings are applied properly by rule, the result is visible on the drawing and also appropriate values are shown for particular shapes on the tab in the Visio Format->Behaviour dialog.
