While working in the Appian Process Modeler (Designer Mode) I can't seem to

While working in the Appian Process Modeler (Designer Mode) I can't seem to move the Angular Connector to a position I want. Any idea how I can control it's position? I think I've tried most of the obvious options but without success. I'd appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks,
Stephen

Do you have another non-corporate computer you can use to test with? I'm thinking there might be something in particular with your corporate browser settings.

Under 'normal' settings how would you adjust the connector to the position you want? click on the right angle and pull as per any other BPM systems? And which technology does the Process Modeler use/is written in? e.g. JavaScript, html5? etc...

If the line is already connected then moving the node it is connected two.

Otherwise hold the shift key and then draw the line.

I think the question is how to you stop the bottom bar from overlapping your text for a clean look... I don't believe you can (or at least I have never found out how!)

Eduardo, I'm afraid neither of your suggestions worked. Do you know which Browser Settings dictate whether or not I'm able to manipulate the Angular Connector? And which technology does the Process Modeler use/is written in? e.g. JavaScript, html5? etc...

You're not able to control or re-position the lines, if you wanted to stop the line going through text as per your picture the only option is to add a dummy script task below to give you more space.

You can also use the annotation tool to draw a text box outside of the node paths for additional clarity.

Thanks Kara, I'm not sure if adding more text will help, my goal is to make the diagram as clear and simple as possible. I may have to adjust my design to workaround this issue.
Thanks to all for your responses and feedback.
