Removing a bend point

When you are working with a message flow in the editor view, you might want to simplify the display of the message flow by removing a bend point that you previously added to a connection between two nodes.

Before you start:

Add a bend point
Read the concept topic about bend points

To remove a bend point:

Switch to the Integration Development perspective.
Open the message flow that you want to work with.
Click Selection above the node palette.
Select the connection from which you want to remove the bend point. The editor highlights the connection and its current bend points by thickening its line and appending a small black square to each end of the connection, and by indicating each bend point with a small black square. Check that this is the correct connection.
Right-click over the selected connection, if you added this bend point in the current edit session.
1. Click Undo Create Bend Point.
The editor removes the selected bend point.
If you right-click in the editor view without a connection being selected, you can also click Undo Create Bend Point from the menu. However, this removes the last bend point that you created in any connection, which might not be the one that you want to remove.
Move the bend point to straighten the line if you added this bend point in a previous edit session, because you cannot use the undo action. When the line is straight, the bend point is removed automatically.
When the bend point has been removed, the connection remains highlighted. Both ends of the connection, and any remaining bend points, remain displayed as small black squares.
The editor also inserts small points (handles) into the connection between each bend point and between each terminal and its adjacent bend point, which you can use to add more bend points.
If you want to remove another bend point from the same connection, repeat these actions from step 4.
