Glue points are not the same as the selection handles of an object. The handles are for moving or
changing the shape of an object. Glue points are used to fix or glue a connector to an object so
that when the object moves, the connector stays fixed to the object. For a more detailed
description on the use of glue points, see the Draw Guide Chapter 3 Working with Objects and
Object Points and Chapter 8 Connections, Flowcharts and Organization Charts.
Connectors
Connectors are lines or arrows whose ends automatically snap to a glue point of an object.
Connectors are especially useful in drawing organization charts, flow diagrams, and mind-maps.
When objects are moved or reordered, the connectors remain attached to a glue point. Figure 171
shows an example of two objects and a connector.
Draw offers a range of different connectors and connector functions. Click on the triangle next to
the Connector icon to open the Connectors toolbar (Figure 172). For a more detailed
description of the use of connectors, see the Draw Guide Chapter 8 Connections, Flowcharts and
Organization Charts.
