Operation Manual

Glue points are not the same as the selection handles of an object. The selection handles are for
moving or changing the shape of an object, as described in Chapter 3 Working with Objects and
Object Points.
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
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 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 32 shows
an example of two objects and a connector.
Draw offers a range of different connectors and connector functions. Click on the triangle to the
right of the Connector icon to open the Connectors toolbar (Figure 33). The Connector
icon on the Drawing toolbar always indicates the last tool used and may not be the same as the
Connector icon shown above.
For a more detailed description of the use of connectors, see Chapter 8 Connections, Flowcharts
and Organization Charts.
