Structurizr quick tip: moving relationship descriptions

By default, Structurizr will render relationship descriptions half way along the line, like this:

Alt Text

If you need to move the relationship (perhaps because it's overlapping something else), when editing the diagram, you can hover the mouse pointer over the relationship so that it's highlighted, and press the Up/Down cursor keys to move it forwards/backwards along the line.

Alt Text

Just note that this doesn't work when auto-layout mode is enabled.

Great write up. Structurizr is great. Made a video about it recently - youtube.com/watch?v=ySW7Jo9SyW0
