Obsidian - Canvas vs Excalidraw 

In excalodraws defence it updates so often (way more than obsodian) that's its become a joke that you can't update your plugins without excalodraw being updated also.

@@JoshPlunkett Ah lol that's good. Things Excalidraw don't have or I haven't been able to figure out are dotted background and auto snapping. The two most basic things for something like this. I just can't deal with visual alignment, and I don't even have OCD. Also many elements don't look professional or refined enough.

@@SamBorgman Snapping is by default enabled when you show grid (Just right click anywhere on the canvas and click show grid or use the shortcut Ctrl+' on windows). Alternatively, if you hold down Ctrl on windows while moving any object it will snap. There is also an excalidraw automate script that can change the grid size alongside many other amazing scripts like mindmapping, custom pens etc.

@@Hi-sc1dw Oh jeez don't know how I missed that lol thank you! Also found the grid size script :)

You can create links from nodes to notes but I don't think it works with that stuff.

I'm not aware of anyway to automate it. Just have to make them manually to my knowledge.

Yes. As long as you actually connected the arrows to the nodes theu will update.

@@JoshPlunkett Oh thanks! So it is only the arrows that will move?!! Line connections don't?! I have been using the line tool to connect objects only to find the lines are not moving at all!

@@warren2010 If your lines aren't moving it means you have not connected to the node object. There's a different colour border that appears when you drag a connector to a shape. You need to connect to border using these. It is possible to not do this which means you make a completely disconnected object that won't move if things change.

@@JoshPlunkett My arrows are connecting and moving and behaving as expected but haven't got a clue how to connect lines to an object really.
