Please can anyone help, I have a problem to correctly connecting block9 to block 10 Also, block 19 to block 6.

  • Welcome. // Please enter a screenshot from your codes result. – MS-SPO Jun 23 '22 at 15:53

    Your code is not complete and has mismatch on nodes name. Please correct this errors. – Zarko Jun 23 '22 at 16:34
  • Hi I have inserted 
     \draw [->] (block10) edge (block11);
     \draw [->] (block20) edge (block7);

    into line 163 and line 164. not sure if this helps as you seem to have all the other code the same, its just the numbering of the blocks that is puzzling me.

With use of the chain library and in picture picture preamble defined styles for nodes, arrows and labels:

Edit. Now I observe that I lost node block2 in the main branch and that first block in branch "B" should start at level of node A-2. Now I correct this.

\documentclass[margin=5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows, arrows.meta,
                chains,
                positioning,
                quotes,
                shapes}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[
    node distance = 3mm and 5mm,
      start chain = A going below,
      start chain = B going below,
       arr/.style = {draw, -Straight Barb},
       box/.style = {draw, minimum width=21mm, minimum height=7mm},
  decision/.style = {diamond, draw, minimum width=24mm, inner sep=0},
every edge/.style = {arr},
every edge quotes/.style={auto=right, font=\footnotesize},
                        ]
    \begin{scope}[nodes={on chain=A, join=by arr}]
\node[box, rounded rectangle]   {START};    % A-1
\node[box]      {block1};
\node[box]      {block2};
\node[decision] {block3};                   % A-4
\node[box]      {block5};
\node[box]      {block6};
\node[decision] {block7};                   % A-7
\node[box]      {block9};
    \end{scope}
\node (C-1)     [box, left=of A-4]  {block4};
\node (C-2)     [box, left=of A-7]  {block8};
    \draw   (A-4) edge ["Yes"] (C-1)
            (A-7) edge ["Yes"] (C-2);
    \begin{scope}[nodes={on chain=B, join= by arr}]
\node[box,
      right=of A-2] {block10};  % B-1
\node[box]      {blocj11)};
\node[box]      {block12};
\node[box]      {block13};
\node[box]      {block14};

\node[box]      {block17};
\node[decision] {block18};                  % B-9
\node[box]      {END};
    \end{scope}
\node (B-11)    [box, left=of B-9] {block19};
% Arrows
\coordinate[left=of C-2] (aux);
\draw[arr]  (A-8.east) -- ++ (0.2,0) |- (B-1);
\draw[arr]  (B-9)  edge ["Yes"] (B-11);
\draw[arr]  (B-11) -| (aux) |- (A-5);
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Try use this two path instead：

\draw[->] (block10.east) --++(0.15cm,0cm) |- (block11.west); 
\draw[->] (block20.west) --++(-4cm,0cm) |- (block7.west);

Here's a way to do it:

  • introduced styles fmt and fmtw for simplification
  • deleted duplicate draw, removed min width and min height
  • cleaned up code a little
  • shifted some blocks a bit to the left
  • introduced Tom's proposal for the connectors
