Applying a circular layout to a diagram, then drawing a link between nodes, triggers a redraw of the circle

[scottmunday84]

Find an example here.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Draw a few nodes on the example.
• Draw a link between two nodes.
• Nodes are reorganized based on the newly created/selected link.

The desired result should probably be that drawing links between nodes shouldn't affect the layout of nodes.

You need to set the layoutConditions for the Diagram.linkTemplate so that adding new links does not cause a re-layout:

myDiagram.linkTemplate =
  $(go.Link,  // the whole link panel
    { 
      layoutConditions: go.Part.LayoutNone,
      ... (other link properties)

Then it will work as you are expecting.
