Hello


Is there some setting to automatically prevent lines from crossing through an existing shape? I know I can manually move a line but its a little inconvenient to have to manually move them every time especially if I have a lot of shapes that need to be connected to different areas.


I've included a picture showing the behavior I'd like to avoid.


Thank you


Hi @hal b thanks for posting in the community! Unfortunately there isn't currently a way to prevent lines crossing through existing shapes. However I can certainly see how a feature like this would be useful when working with diagrams with many shapes and lines. 

We're always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart and your feedback is the best way for us to do that. Would you mind adding your idea to our feature request form? Ideas submitted to this form are passed on to the product development team for their consideration.


Thanks for your request and I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
