Drawing Connections so that they do not lie on top of each other?

In VisSim, connections between blocks seem to draw themselves automatically and frequently they draw themselves so that one or more connections lie on top of one other making it VERY difficult to understand the meaning of the drawing. How do I get connections to draw themselves so that they NEVER draw on top of each other?

With a little practice you can position blocks to minimize wire overlap. It is best to keep blocks as close together as possible to minimize wire clutter. You can flip a block horizontally by selecting it, right click on it, then choose flip horizontal. If simple block positioning doesn't solve a wire crossing problem, then you can use the Blocks > Annotation > wirePositioner block to route the wire how you like.
You can also use variables to send data without wires.
