Guide / Every rule

Connection crosses a label

The check drawing/edge-through-label, in the group Drawing.

Advice

Why it matters

A line through a label makes both harder to read.

How to fix it

Drag the label off the line.

Where you see it

The Problems tab lists it under Readability, and outlines the element on the canvas. In a terminal, penstock check --only drawing reports it as EDGE-THROUGH-LABEL. Auto layout often fixes it for the whole diagram at once.
