What problem does it solve?
This guide teaches how to connect shapes with edges in Draw.io diagrams, preventing the common mistakes of hardcoding waypoints and misplacing exit/entry points. It clarifies when to use floating versus fixed connections, edge routing styles, and edge labels so diagrams stay robust as they evolve.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Floating vs fixed connections with auto-routing to keep edges attached to shapes as they move.
- Support for various edge styles (orthogonal, elbow, isometric, self-loops) and fixed connection points.
- Custom connection points and edge labels positioning to convey meaning without clutter.
- Real-world scenarios include flowcharts, architectural diagrams, ER models, and UML-style diagrams where reliable routing matters.
Quick Start
Create a basic edge between two shapes and rely on the router to compute an optimal path.
