Put Text on Gateways in Front of the Arrows

The text on the gateways is always behind the arrow and can be difficult to read. You need to adjust the wording a bit to get it to show more clearly, or move the arrows so there is no arrow coming out from the bottom of the gateway. The latter is not always an option depending on the complexity of the process flow.

    Thanks for the screenshot! Can you clarify.....in the image you attached it appears that the activity number box "1.6" is covering the arrow on the top of the 2nd gateway (I can't tell if it is an incoming or outgoing arrow). Is this the issue that you are trying to raise in this RFE?
    The text of the labels ("USDA?" and "Bond?") don't seem to present a problem.
    Can you confirm that it is the placement of the activity numbers that is your issue and not the gateway label text?
    Thanks!

    See attached screenshots. In Blueworks, the text and the arrow overlap and it is difficult to read the text. In Visio, the arrow is not visible for any portion that has text on it so that the text is easier to read.

    Thanks for your request! Would you be able to attach a screenshot showing some examples of the behavior that you are describing so that we can better understand the issue?
