It is possible to use other flow styles apart from the default "elbow" flow with 90 degree turns. A single flow's appearance can be defined in the Flow Graphical Properties dialog accessible by right-clicking on the flow. Model-wide settings can be defined in the Modeling Options dialog accessible from the Model tab of the ribbon.

Exercise 68: Change a flow style.

1. Create a new model using the Default settings template.

2. Draw two Activity process steps and connect them with a Control flow.

3. Move one of the Activity process steps so that the flow has a turn in it.

4. Right-click on the flow and select Graphical Properties... from the popup menu.

5. Remove the selection from the Use default connector style check box.

6. Change the line style by selecting Straight from the Arrow Style drop-down list.

7. Click OK. The flow should now go straight from the first Activity to the second Activity, without any turns in it.
