When you draw a connector between shapes, the connector will be attached to a gluepoint on each shape. Each shape has some default gluepoints, and the positions of the default gluepoints depend on the specific shape. You can add your own custom gluepoints to a shape and then attach connectors to the custom gluepoints.</paragraph> 46*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="heading" id="par_id0919200803041099" xml-lang="en-US" level="2" l10n="NEW">To add and edit gluepoints</paragraph> 47*cdf0e10cSrcweir<list type="ordered"> 48*cdf0e10cSrcweir<listitem> 49*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id091920080304108" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Do one of the following:</paragraph> 50*cdf0e10cSrcweir</listitem> 51*cdf0e10cSrcweir</list> 52*cdf0e10cSrcweir<list type="ordered"> 53*cdf0e10cSrcweir<listitem> 54*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041082" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Click the <emph>Glue Point</emph> icon on the Drawing toolbar.</paragraph> 55*cdf0e10cSrcweir</listitem> 56*cdf0e10cSrcweir<listitem> 57*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041186" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Choose <item type="menuitem">Edit - Glue Points</item>.</paragraph> 58*cdf0e10cSrcweir</listitem> 59*cdf0e10cSrcweir</list> 60*cdf0e10cSrcweir<list type="ordered"> 61*cdf0e10cSrcweir<listitem> 62*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041160" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Click the <emph>Insert Glue Point</emph> icon on the Gluepoints toolbar.</paragraph> 63*cdf0e10cSrcweir</listitem> 64*cdf0e10cSrcweir<listitem> 65*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041115" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Click inside the shape where you want to add the new gluepoint.</paragraph> 66*cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041133" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">If the shape is filled, you can click anywhere inside the shape.
