How to route edges with waypoints
Add a waypoint
Section titled “Add a waypoint”- Click on an edge to select it
- A draggable point appears along the edge
- Drag the point to create a waypoint — a bend in the edge path
- The edge now routes through the waypoint
Add multiple waypoints
Section titled “Add multiple waypoints”Repeat the process to add additional bends. Each drag creates a new waypoint. This lets you route edges around other elements or create clean orthogonal (right-angle) paths.
Move a waypoint
Section titled “Move a waypoint”Click and drag an existing waypoint to reposition it.
Remove a waypoint
Section titled “Remove a waypoint”- Select the waypoint (click on it)
- Press Delete
The edge straightens through that section.
- Waypoints are saved with the diagram layout — they persist across sessions
- Use waypoints to avoid edge crossings on complex diagrams
- For orthogonal routing, place waypoints at right angles to create clean horizontal and vertical segments
