routing
Connectors route like you’d draw them
Orthogonal routing by libavoid — the lines avoid your shapes, hop where they cross and re-route live while you drag. No waypoint fiddling.
network diagrams · draw.io compatible
Diagrams that route themselves.
Drop in your devices and Drawbridge routes the connections — clean orthogonal lines that hop where they cross and stay clean when you move things around. It opens and saves draw.io files, and everything stays on your machine.
