As with all other objects, connectors have one or more control points to simplify the
construction of the drawing. You can use these points to change the shape, length,
and proportions of the connector line (see Figure 209).
To remove a connector from an object, either move the end of the connector away
from the glue point of the object or simply delete the connector entirely.
Editing glue points
Glue points can be edited using a separate toolbar (see Figure 210). This toolbar
appears when you click on the Glue Points icon or select Edit > Glue Points
from the main menu.
The following briefly describes the function of each button on this toolbar.
Use this button to insert a new glue point into an object you have drawn. If
the object is filled, you can place a glue point anywhere inside the object or
on its frame. With unfilled objects you can place a glue point only on the
outside frame but you can then drag it inside the object provided that the
Glue Points icon on the Drawing toolbar is still active .
The glue points that you add remain visible as long as
the Glue Points icon is active. They appear as small blue
crosses. A selected glue point has a gray square behind
the cross. You can move a selected glue point with the
mouse or delete it with the Del key.
Use these four buttons to choose one or more directions permitted for a
connector to join to a particular glue point.
Activate Glue Points and then choose the direction. If, for example, you
activate only the button, every connector will be forced to come to that
glue point from the left side.
