By default, anchor points that you add to an object are not available as snap points for a connector line when the object is moved
around in the drawing. To make an anchor point available as a snap point, select it with the Edit anchor tool, and click the Auto
anchor button on the property bar.
By default, the position of the anchor point is calculated relative to its position on the page. You can set the anchor point position
relative to the object that it is attached to, which is useful if you want to set anchor points in the same relative position in multiple
