Hi, thank you. Your approach seems a bit overcomplicated. Using a connection point and making its color the same as the one of the background is not that much different from using a box and setting its bordercolor accordingly. In LibreOffice-draw you can connect lines directly with text without any tricks. However, draw comes with its own problems and defiencies. I want to stick with dia, and i think i must live with this backgroundcolor-trick.
