Drag a connector from a control handle on a shape

  1. Select a shape that has built-in connectors, and position the pointer over the shape's control handle .

  2. Drag the control handle to a connection point on another shape.

    Note  You can glue these types of connectors only to a connection point on another shape; for some special control handle you can dynamically glue them. And not all the control handle can be glued to connection points, when dragging the control handle and moving over connection point, red rectangle will appear if the control handle can be glued.
