1.Select the cable that you want to reposition. This will display its grips. Grips appear at the endpoints and midpoints of line segments.
2. Click & drag a grip to move it.
3. Done.
The grips have different behaviors:
•StartPoint/Endpoint grips - Detach from the current port and attach to another port.
•Vertex grips - move the vertex pair to reposition the cable orthagonally. The vertex grips cannot be moved in a direction that would cause the segment to detach/re-attach.
•Midpoint grips - add a new segment.
