How do I remove stray line connection dots from sysbuild superblock diagrams?

[Fence]

On a number of the superblock diagrams that I have inherited there are a number of stray 'dots' or 'blobs' that look like the symbol used to mark a line connection when an output goes to two or more inputs. I have not been able to find a way to select and/or remove these. Many of the dots have no apparent connection to anything else on the diagram. At times they are on a block symbol and can make that symbol difficult to read on a print of the superblock diagram.

I am using MATRIXx 7.1 on a Windows 2000 platform.

Hello,

Could you attach a screenshot to this DF? So basically if I understood correctly, it seems as if the links to super blocks remain in the diagram when you have removed the SB?
Now, what version of MATRIXx is it? 7.1.4 or 7.1.3?
Please let me know.
Is it only with this inherited code? Are you able to reproduce it with any other code?

Thank you

Hi,
I tried to send to a screen dump via the email support route but do not know if I succeeded.

I had some time today and created a dummy superblock and managed to recreate the problem. The essence is to connect a single output to a number of inputs where the input blocks are arrange in a horizontal line. A set of dots appear arranged vertically on the diagram. Obviously the connection editor is misplacing the dots. I have attempted to attach my example superblock for you to see the effect.

During the experimenting, and previously, I have noticed that the connection editor does seem to have some trouble picking a simple route between two blocks, I presume it is trying to avoid label areas and the like even though they are not displayed.

Regards,
Tim

Hello,

Thank you for your files. We were able to reproduce it. These dots appear when you have as you are saying one output to multiple inputs. But not only this, they need to be set to downward or upward. I am going to report this bug so that they can fix it. Now, a workaround is to flip the object to normal.
I will keep you posted as soon as we get a fix or I get an update from the developers.
Thank you
