As per K2.net 2003, i'm trying to create a line that will loop straight back onto the same activity.  Why can i not do this in the K2 blackPearl designer in Visual Studio 2005?

I have been able to accomplish this using the Visual Studio designer... are you using the right-click-and-drag method of drawing a line, or does the activity have an outcome line stub already?  When I have an outcome line stub, I can left click and drag it back to the same activity successfully as in my blog post here:  http://blogs.claritycon.com/blogs/tim_byrne/archive/2007/11/30/3520.aspx


I hope this helps...

 i've tried both & neither will let me do, or so it appears :( with the right-click method it doesn't draw a line at all and with the line tool selected it just gives me a new line not joined to anything and even if i then try to join it up onto the same activity it just won't allow it.  I've also tried using the outcome line that comes from the default Client Task wizard & that won't work either.  I'm using the RTM version are you?

I am using RTM as well, though I do not have the line tool selected for any of my line drawing actions.  Could you post some screenshots of the behavior?

Try to keep in the Shift button when dragging the line.

However I can complete it without holding the Shift.
