Line hopsCopied!Link to this section

When connectors cross, line hops make it clear which line goes where.

Select a connector and use the line hop toggle in the toolbar, next to the endpoint options, to turn hops on or off. Click ︙ next to the toggle to pick a style:

• Gap: the line breaks where the connectors cross.
• Arc: the line jumps over the other with a small arc.

New connectors have hops turned on with the gap style. To change this, set the style you like and save it as your default style.
