They can also be placed anywhere on the page, and are especially useful when
creating a connection onto grouped QuickShapes or more complex grouped
objects such as symbols.
To add a custom connection point (with Connection Point Tool):
1. Select an object.
2. Select the Connection Point Tool on the Connector Tools flyout
(Tools toolbar).
3. Click at a chosen location to place the custom connection point (inside
or outside the object). The custom connection point appears in blue.
To view the connection points again you have to hover over the object which
was selected while the connection point was created. Remember to enable either
the Connector Tool or Elbow Connector Tool in advance.
Editing connection points and connectors
• To move a custom connection point, select the object to which it
is associated and drag the point with the Connection Point Tool.
• To delete a custom connection point you've added, use the
Connection Point Tool to click the object to which the connection
point was associated, click the connection point you want to delete,
and then press Delete. Default nodes are fixed and can't be deleted.
• To move, reshape, or detach/reattach a connector, use the
Pointer Tool to drag individual nodes. Drag the end node of a
connector to detach or reattach it. (See Drawing and editing lines on
p. 196).
