Connectors

Open the Connectors toolbar, with which you can add connectors to objects in the current slide. A connector is a line that joins objects, and remains attached when the objects are moved. If you copy an object with a connector, the connector is also copied.

There are four types of connector lines:

1. Standard (90-degree angle bends)

2. Line (two bends)

3. Straight

4. Curved

When you click a connector and move your mouse pointer over a filled object, or the edge of an unfilled object, glue points appear. A glue point is a fixed point where you can attach a connector line. You can add custom glue points to an object.

To draw a connector line, click a glue point on an object, drag to a glue point on another object, and then release. You can also drag to an empty part of you document and click. The unattached end of the connector is locked in place, until you drag the end to a different location. To detach a connector, drag either end of the connector line to a different location.

Line Connector Ends with Arrow

Draws a connector that ends with an arrow and bends near a glue point. Click a glue point on an object, drag to a glue point on another object, and then release. To adjust the length of the line segment between a bend point and a glue point, click the connector and drag the bend point.

Line Connector with Arrows

Draws a connector that bends near a glue point and has arrows at both ends. Click a glue point on an object, drag to a glue point on another object, and then release. To adjust the length of the line segment between a bend point and a glue point, click the connector and drag the bend point.

Line Connector Starts with Circle

Draws a connector that starts with a circle and bends near a glue point. Click a glue point on an object, drag to a glue point on another object, and then release. To adjust the length of the line segment between a bend point and a glue point, click the connector and drag the bend point.

Line Connector Ends with Circle

Draws a connector that ends with a circle and bends near a glue point. Click a glue point on an object, drag to a glue point on another object, and then release. To adjust the length of the line segment between a bend point and a glue point, click the connector and drag the bend point.

Line Connector with Circles

Draws a connector that bends near a glue point and has circles at both ends. Click a glue point on an object, drag to a glue point on another object, and then release. To adjust the length of the line segment between a bend point and a glue point, click the connector and drag the bend point.

Straight Connector
