I'm missing a functionality that would maybe ease the visibility of cutted connexions. If it would be possible to colorize by pair the arrows for the cutted connexions, it would be visually easier to "reconnect" them while reading the shema. I've attached a picture where, as always, a drawing sais more than thousand words Thank you. Roger Attachment Colorized Cutted Connexions.jpg (43 Downloads)

If you answer a "yes", then you must have had the same headache as me finding the corresponding connexion in a second The idea is to give more visibility in the diagram "at a first glance" especially when you're in the field and stressed to resolve the problem. One could imagine also give the cutted connexion's end another shape; could be a circle, square, any thing. ...just an idea, a suggestion...

I hope to get use to the actual "visual scheme" but while time passes, my eyes won't get better Thank you anyway
