How do I manage line jumps between layers in draw.io?

I am facing issues with line jumps in my draw.io diagram. I guess this is because I used layers in my diagram. Do I have to accept this trade-off once I work with layers?

Hi there. No, there is no trade-off, you can always have line jumps in draw.io. You only have to keep in mind that layers follow an order and that this order affects line jumps. There are two easy ways to get around the issues you are facing at the moment, we deal with them in another thread (see How do I manage line jumps in draw.io?)

When it comes to using line jumps in combination with layers, we also recommend the video below. Of course, there’s also a complete playlist around the layer feature. Check that out at our Youtube channel.
