Hello

I'm tring to draw a line between two shapes to do two action: Set some variables and open an popup, whent i try with other shape it works ok but using a line dont.

PD: The shape that im using represent view, not elements so there is nothing about conection.

Thanks

Hi Juan, could you give some more information about the line? Are you using DCF or rather just drawing a line in the visio application between 2 shapes yourself? What is your shape data? Feel free to edit your question and let me know when I can check further.

Hi Juan,

You could try by using a block shape and setting the width (or height) to 0:

Hi Miguel

Is a simple line without DCF, i try with a shape but when i put it in diagonal in the cube a frame appears over the “line”, ans also it’s really dificult make a diagonal line width 0

PD: The conection shape are no linket to element, are views
Any idea?

Miguel Obregon [SLC] [DevOps Catalyst] commented 28th September 2021

Hi Juan,

Indeed, when I rotate 45 degrees the block shape, I could see a frame displayed.

Maybe you could try another alternative? Is it required to click in the line? We normally performed this workaround when we would like to display information in a pop-up when a user hover the mouse over the line.

A possible option is to define these actions on buttons close to the line? I believe it will be easier for a user to click on a block linked to an action instead of a line. Clicking on a line implies to hover the mouse exactly over the line (which it is not user friendly)

Hi Miguel

It’s somethink dificult, its for a map so the degrees wil no be exact, in fat one of then have 23° and with many lines conecting the shape the buton opcion will not freandly.
Could be added this functionality to the line?

Toon Casteele [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 29th September 2021

I just want to make a quick note that you can use the options shape data with value “HoverType=Geometry” to get the right hover box rather than a straight one on a diagonal shape.
