How to: Reroute and Redraw Connections on Application Diagrams

In Application Designer, you can redraw a connection using the shortest line possible and optimally repositioning associated endpoints. You can also manually or automatically reroute a connection without repositioning its endpoints.

Note

Automatic rerouting is available only after manually rerouting a connection.
