Upper bundle output

More often than not, i "pull down" a bundle by name, do something and then want the wire to continue at the same level from whence it came. With the centered output this requires some fiddling and Clean up wire only helps half way. If the Bundle function had an output at top, like it's cluster definition, it'd work much better.

I think the problem with your use case is not the location of the output terminal's anchor point, but rather that it favours the "rightward" direction. I'd much rather that the bundle node grew such that wire bends at the output are minimised, and often that will mean the output wire exits at the top or bottom or the node.

 

I don't want the anchor point moved as you suggest, but I do often want my wires to exit from the top or bottom when I resize the node, so kudos 🙂

Actually i dont want i moved, i realize some might prefer the current way, but an extra output at top (and as you mention bottom) would help.

You can already send the wire straight up. Do you just want the arrow to point up?

I need to test this, but I'd use this as a QD because I do this all the time in the JKI State Machine.
