To create a connector:
1.
For a straight-line connector, select the Connector Tool on the
Connector Tools flyout (Tools toolbar).
- or -
For an elbow connector, select the Elbow Connector Tool from
the same location.
2. Either:
• Hover over an object so that default connection points become
visible, e.g. for various shapes.
- or -
• Hover over an object's edge until you see a red square.
3. Drag from the object's connection point to another object's connection
point (default or custom). Release the mouse button when the pointer
is over the target connection point. A direct connector will appear
between the two connection points.
Instead of using an object's default connection points, you can create your own
custom connection points by either hovering over any shape's edge and dragging
from that originating point or by simply creating a custom connection point with
the Connection Point Tool. 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.
