#jArchi script to remove bendpoints on selected relationships

RemoveBentpoints.ajs

// RemoveBentpoints
//
// Requires jArchi - https://www.archimatetool.com/blog/2018/07/02/jarchi/
//
// This script takes a selection of visual objects as input, filter it to keep only relationships and remove all their bendpoints

$(selection).filter("relationship").filter(function(o) {return o.view}).each(function(o) {
    var view = o.view;
    var rel = o.concept;
    var source = o.source;
    var target = o.target;
    o.delete();
    view.add(rel, source, target);
})

Very handy! Thanks for sharing!

any advice on how to access the bendpoint attributes? I'd like to create a variant of this script that reverses the direction of the relationship (where allowed) and preserve the endpoints that already established.

This is indeed a very handy script. I use it a lot.

With the new jArchi scripting plugin with GraalVM, it is not working anymore. The filtering function gives a conversion error.

Here a solution that works in both Nashorn and GraalVM :
Replace the first line
$(selection).filter("relationship").filter(function(o) {return o.view}).each(function(o) {
with
$(selection).filter("relationship").filter(function (o) {return (o.id != o.concept.id) }).each(function (o) {

Similar to last comment but I have replaced

$(selection).filter("relationship").filter(function(o) {return o.view}).each(function(o) {

with

$(selection).filter("relationship").filter(function(o) {return o.view!=undefined}).each(function(o) {

which seemed simpler.
Also made a couple more changes to preserve the label expression

var labelExpr=o.labelExpression;

newo=view.add(rel, source, target);
newo.labelExpression=labelExpr;

With the relative new method deleteAllBendpoints() you can keep the selected relations. No need to restore anything.

Combined with your line this script only removes the bendpoints of the selected relations:

$(selection).filter("relationship").filter(function(o) {return o.view!=undefined}).each(function(o) {
  o.deleteAllBendpoints();
})

Well that's simpler.
I've been using the script a while and never noticed it had been incorporated into the language.
Thanks
(off to update some scripts now)

Great work!! Very helpful
