LO stop lines merging?

I regularly draw lines which I don’t want to merge so that the arrow heads at each stop point remain visible…


The only way I can seem to achieve this is to draw the full length line and then Split it at the required points. This can lead to accuracy problems. Is there a way to suspend the Line auto-merge function in LO so I can simply draw individual lines?

There is a setting for it… IIRC right click when you are drawing a line and toggle ‘Autojoin’ off.

Thank you! I had a feeling SU would have a solution somewhere. It is under the Context menu.

Do note that disabling auto-join will only prevent the line you are drawing from connecting to other existing lines. To draw what you have shown, you’ll have to draw a segment then reset the tool by hitting the escape key before drawing the next segment.

Thanks Adam. That’s true, but it’s still a lot quicker than using the Split tool. On my Mac the Line tool stays active after pressing [ESC].
