\draw[-latex] (A) -| (B);

I used @Stefan's solution it is producing results as shown in the left side attached image. I would like to produce as shown in the right side of the image. \draw[-latex] (A.east) |- (B.west); \draw[-latex] (A.east) |- (C.west); \draw[-latex] (A.east) |- (D.west); \draw[-latex] (A.east) |- (E.west); thanks ![alt text][1] [1]: i.imgur.com/wpnqe.jpg – Aku Jan 12 '11 at 21:59
this would be a good new question. In this position here, it's an answer. That's not how this Question&Answer site works (it's not a web forum). It would be great if you re-post this as a separate question. Of course you may additionally link to here. – Stefan Kottwitz Jan 12 '11 at 21:59
@Stefan I will ask as a new question. I am still learning. Thanks for your feedback – Aku Jan 12 '11 at 21:59

You could use anchors, for example:

\draw[-latex] (A.east) -- (B.west);

For lines going down and then right, use |-

\draw[-latex] (A.south) |- (B.west);

Thanks for the tip, I did that but it draws a straight line. For which it servers the purpose how how can I connect the boxes where the line travels south first and then make a 90 turn and then connect to west side of box B. – Aku Jan 2 '11 at 1:00
@Aku: Use |-. I edited and added such an example. – Stefan Kottwitz Jan 2 '11 at 1:04
