    </LineJumpStyle>

## Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

## Remarks

To specify a line jump style for a specific dynamic connector, use the ConLineJumpStyle element.

The LineJumpStyle element is relevant only when contained in a PageSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet, Shape, or StyleSheet element.

## Example

In the following example, the LineJumpStyle element is 6, and the LineJumpCode element is 1, so when two connector lines cross on a page, a four-sided line jump will be added to the horizontal connector line.

This code example has been excerpted for clarity.

    <PageLayout>
    …
      <LineJumpCode>1</LineJumpCode>
      <LineJumpStyle>6</LineJumpStyle>
      <PageLineJumpDirX>0</PageLineJumpDirX>
      <PageLineJumpDirY>0</PageLineJumpDirY>
      <LineToNodeX>0.125</LineToNodeX>
      <LineToNodeY>0.125</LineToNodeY>
      <BlockSizeX>0.25</BlockSizeX>
      <BlockSizeY>0.25</BlockSizeY>
      <AvenueSizeX>0.375</AvenueSizeX>
      <AvenueSizeY>0.375</AvenueSizeY>
      <LineToLineX>0.125</LineToLineX>
      <LineToLineY>0.125</LineToLineY>
      <LineJumpFactorX>0.66666666666667</LineJumpFactorX>
