Line jumps represent an intersection of lines. If you have a large diagram with lots of intersecting paths, line jumps make the diagram easier to understand. The line jumps are not displayed by default.

To add line jumps


  1. Right-click the diagram pane and select Diagram Properties.
  2. In the Diagram Properties dialog, select the Add Line Jumps To property value from the drop-down list:
    • None - specifies that the diagram use no line jumps (default value).
      No line jumps
    • Horizontal Line - specifies that line jumps appear only on a horizontal line.
      Horizontal line jump
    • Vertical Line - specifies that line jumps appear only on a vertical line.
      Vertical line jump

The line jump changes are applied for the current diagram only. To change line jumps for the whole project, see Formatting symbols.
