vertical position. Only one of the horizontal position tools and one of the vertical
position tools can be selected and used at any one time.
Adding glue points
By default, most objects normally have four glue points. To add extra glue points to an object or to
an object that does not have glue points, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure no objects are selected and click on the Glue Points icon or select Edit >
Glue Points on the main menu bar, or right click on a selected connector and select Edit
Points from the context menu.
2) If the Gluepoints toolbar (Figure 195 on page 161) does not open, go to View > Toolbars >
Gluepoints on the main menu bar.
3) Select the object and then the Insert Glue Point icon , or right click on a glue point you
have previously inserted and select Insert Point from the context menu.
4) Move your cursor to a position where you want the glue point on an object and click to
insert the glue point.
5) To move a glue point to another position, click on the glue point and drag it to its new
position.
Tip
When adding, moving or customizing glue points, it is recommended to use the
zoom function to make it easier to work with glue points. See Chapter 3 Working
with Objects and Object Points for more information.
