Bending Relationship Lines

By default, relationships are straight lines, but you can change them to have angles:

1. Click on a relationship line to add an angle point, which appears as a blue dot
   
2. Move the mouse pointer over the blue dot. It changes to a four-way arrow to indicate you can drag.
3. Drag the point to the position you require. 

Removing Bends

To remove an unwanted angle, right-click the blue dot and select Remove Point.
