How to keep the modification to the Data and Event Path arrows
Can we somehow keep the modification to the Data and Event Path arrows in the Automation? One of our customers needs this for the readability of the Automation.
For example, assume that the following Automation is defined:
The developer had performed the following modification to the Event Paths for the readability, and saved the Automation:
When reopening the Automation above, the modification to the Event Paths is totally vanished, and it returns back to the original state:
Any ideas on how to keep this modification?
Thank you for your note. I didn't know this GridSize property:

After modifying it to "10, 10", the granularity of placing the Automation shapes became finer, which is definitely better than the default I think.
I understood that the modification to the Data and Event Paths cannot be preserved.
The execution and data paths lines are not really preserved if you manually move them. I would suggest changing the GridSize property of your automations to 10.10. You can make this the default for new automations by right-clicking the property and selecting "Default".
With the GridSize set to 10,10, you can move things closer together to make them more read-able and allow the lines to draw themselves in pretty good locations.
