Jump and Merge Layout
As of the 2018 release of Evolve, Diagram Designer is now capable of performing a "Jump and Merge". This popular add-on layout for Evolve Designer, has been brought to diagram designer, in order to make it possible to build more complex diagrams.
With this layout the objects of the selected associations will not be put on the diagram. Instead, their parent object(s) will be linked directly to their children. For example, if we have 3 levels and we switch the layout of the 2nd one to “Jump & Merge” this is what we’ll get:
Jump and merge can be added to your diagram, in the same way that other layout controls are applied.
The layout does not have any user defined properties other than the name. See below:
