Exactly like the title says, how can I make a regular line behave like a connector and jump over other connectors?

Curved lines don't jump! I discovered this today as I was trying to get my state diagram to handle crossing lines better.

The question is old, but I just had the same problem with Visio (App on Windows 10). In my case, y4cine's answer did not work because I was missing an option in the page setup. So you need to:

  • Use the connectors.
  • Set the line jump style.

To set the line jump, simply:

  • Access the page setup by right-clicking your page tab.
  • Go to Layout and Routing.
  • Line jumps.
  • Line jump style: Arc

This is the option that I was missing. See also: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-or-remove-connector-line-jumps-1a5516db-0212-4352-90dd-fc9cfd4018ed
