2	In the 'Cell Size (px)' field, type the effective connector separation in pixels. When calculating connector routes, the algorithm divides the diagram into cells of a size determined by this field value; a smaller cell size results in connectors being placed closer together.
3	In the 'Element Margin' field, type the separation between connector segments and element borders, in pixels.
